considered as part of the strategic financial planning process.
Goal #2 : Property maintenance effort. This goal would require a global
organizational approach with numerous Departments involved in
the process.
• Inspectors
• Code enforcement issues
• Human services needs
• Tear down impact on neighborhoods
Goal #3 : Process improvement and efficiency models.
Goal #4 : Non -local routes maintenance and control.
Goal #5 : Review of Boards and Commissions.
Goal #6 : Traffic control and enforcement.
Goal #7 : Police and Fire Space Study response.
Goal #8 : Economic Development
Goal #9 : Emergency Preparedness
The Board also recommended that Goals be defined that would have an annual
conclusion within the calendar year. It was also recommended that mission - oriented
items which tend to be longer term be defined with general direction and tactics to
address the mission as defined as part of the Goal.
Goal #10 Succession Planning.
Goal #11 Technology Usage
It was noted that additional meetings would take place on a regular basis to discuss
strategic planning needs and goal processing.
