DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO PROVIDE INPUT TO THE CITY COUNCIL REGARDING ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION DURING UPCOMING STRATEGIC PLANNING DISCUSSIONS
end
BACKGROUND
Periodically, the City Council participates in a strategic planning process that focuses staff and resources on achievable policy goals and objectives set by the City Council. On September 10, 2024, the Council held its most recent strategic planning session, which included:
• Discussion of the City’s prior accomplishments
• Evaluation and adjustment of the previously developed three-year goals
• Identified the objectives for the new plan.
As a result, the City Council developed three-year goals for 2024-2027. These goals serve as an overarching framework for the Strategic Plan and include specific projects and tasks for each category. Included as an attachment is the current and most updated Strategic Plan with notations provided by the Department(s) responsible for each objective that outline progress or completion of each.
On April 29, 2025, the City Council will be holding its next strategic planning session, which will review the current goals; update objectives, as necessary; and include additional projects or tasks for the next cycle. Staff requests the Youth Commission consider whether it would like to recommend the inclusion of new objectives or projects for the City Council’s consideration during its review and development of an updated plan in April. If the Commission identifies recommendations it would like to share with the City Council, staff requests the Commission designate a representative to work directly with staff to draft a letter that outlines these recommendations. This letter will be brought back to the Commission for final approval at the Commission’s regular meeting on April 3.
