What is a Strategic Plan?

The Strategic Plan is the product of many months of diligent work by City Council and City staff. It provides a benchmark to measure key community outcomes and serves as the guide to provide direction for City staff to develop the annual budget – a results-driven document that focuses on the City’s seven primary goals as developed through the annual strategic planning process.
