II. STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS / 201 0 STRATEGIC GOAL SETTING
For the past several years the Village Board and Staff have engaged in a Strategic Goal
Setting exercise. This produced a roadmap of priority issues for staff to focus on in the
coming year. While useful in defining the short term priorities of the Village Board, it did not
provide the "bigger picture" roadmap for where the Village should be going in the long term.
Last year the Board expressed an interest in engaging in some true strategic planning.
Unfortunately, the Villages' deteriorating financial condition required our full attention in 2009
and we were unable to get things off the ground.
Hopefully in 2010 we can begin the process in earnest. Strategic planning is a long term
(actually permanent) process that develops over time. In that regard this workshop is
somewhat of a kick-off to that permanent process. In order to be successful we will need to
be deliberate and thoughtful in our effort. We will not create a strategic plan in one night. As
such, we should again look to define a set of strategic goals for 2010. Some may well be
incorporated into the strategic plan as it evolves. In this regard the workshop has a dual
purpose.
Appropriate staff will be on hand to answer questions and facilitate discussion.

III. FUTURE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE DISCUSSION ITEMS
Over the past several years, the Village Manager's Office has attempted to better manage
the flow of information, which comes to the Village Board through the Committee of the
Whole Agendas. As you know, Committee of the Whole meetings are designed specifically
to allow for more extensive discussion of pending policy, finances, Code changes and
various items of community interest. The Committee of the Whole also serves as a forum
for discussion of items, which are unexpected, controversial, or of an emergency nature.
The evening's discussion will consist of reviewing suggested topics, discussing briefly the
rationale and need for discussion and the potential timing for bringing such items forward.
Board members, as well as staff, were asked to provide any suggested topics that they
would like to have considered. These items are included in the accompanying package. In
the past, the Village Board has engaged in a polling process, which identifies any subjects,
which do have the support of the Board for research and review.
Appropriate staff will be available to ans\t\er questions and facilitate discussion.
