Council Strategic Goals, Action Mapping

On an annual basis the City Council develops and prioritizes strategic goals.  After a list of strategic goals is identified by the City Council, staff develops a set of bench marks, time-lines and assigns a lead staff person to each individual strategic goal.  This process is known as a action mapping.  The purpose of this case is to review the 2012 strategic goals action maps.

Six separate strategic goals categories were developed by the City Council this spring; including transportation, policies/ programs, budget/ finance, development, housing, and marketing.  Attached to this case are five documents, one for each strategic goal category.  Each document contains action maps for each individual strategic goal.

As mentioned, action maps identify a set of bench marks, time-lines and assigned lead staff person for each individual strategic goal.

Upon adoption, these action maps will be used by City Staff both as a guide to carry out the 2012 City Council Strategic goals and as a tool to measure progress towards those goals.

Direct staff to bring forward the proposed strategic goals action maps for adoption at the next City Council regular meeting.

The strategic planning process is a regular job duty for both administration staff and department heads.

Bring forward the proposed strategic goals action maps to the next City Council regular meeting.
