Memorandum
To: Mayor Nold, City Council, and City Administrator Sarah Kitsembel
From: Laurie Sullivan, Director of Finance/Administrative Services
Date: April 24, 2019
Re: Strategic Plan Update – COW April 30
The working session for the Annual Update to the City’s Strategic Plan is scheduled for Tuesday
evening, April 30th.
We will be providing worksheets to help facilitate the discussion for the Strategic Plan review and
update. There is a separate worksheet for each of the five goal areas in the plan.
For each sheet, the top colored area of the worksheet shows the current approved objectives and
action items for the goal identified. In this section you will find information on each action item
including the start date, the status and the projected end date. This area is for information only,
and will not be reviewed line by line at the workshop unless there are questions on particular action
items.
The focus of the meeting will be the areas below the colored section. Here you will find a section
that lists items that Staff has identified as new or items Council requested or changed from the
original plan. The section adjacent is where we will track any Council discussion items during the
meeting. Council can review staff suggestions and decide if they want them added to the ‘Council’
column, and then add additional items or change current items during the meeting.
The Council and Staff should recognize that the Strategic Plan is a tool to communicate the
Councils expectations and work plan for Staff. This document directs Staff as to where the Council
wants to allocate Staff Resources and Funding. Staff will use this plan to help formulate the City
Budget and Capital Plan.
Please review the worksheets before the meeting and come prepared with your notes, questions
and proposed revisions to the current Strategic Plan document.
At the end of each worksheet, we will ask for consensus from the Committee of the Whole in the
form of a motion, for each item to be added or revised in the Plan and to direct Staff to prepare a
timeline to bring back to the Committee for later review and adoption.
Please let me know if you have any questions prior to our meeting.
See you Tuesday.
