City Council Strategic Plan

A strategic plan is a vital tool for local jurisdictions to ensure that the priorities set by the City Council are conveyed in the organization’s goals, that strategies are clearly developed to meet the goals, and that overall city government is accountable to meeting community needs.

The City Council adopted the strategic plan in October 2019, which included a renewed community vision, mission and values and five goals.
