III. DISCUSSION ITEMS
1. Strategic Planning Session
Raftelis representative Julie Novak summarized the framework discussed at the previous
workshop in November and started a conversation centered around the feedback given from the
community since then. There was considerable discussion to finalize the vision, mission and the
other elements of the framework.
The board and staff members then divided into small groups to discuss the focus areas before
regrouping to better define these correlating definitions and develop priorities around the
community feedback.
Ms. Novak brought everyone back together to summarize the results and make a final list of
twenty items to include in the finished plan. She discussed the next steps moving forward in the
process.
