County Manager Rebecca Clemons outlines strategic plan progress and new dashboard release

The Williamson County Commissioners Court held a regular session on April 29, 2025, where County Manager Rebecca Clemons provided an overview of the county's strategic initiatives and accomplishments during the first two quarters of the fiscal year. This meeting marked the first year of Clemons' role as county manager, a position established in October 2024.

Clemons highlighted the development of a strategic plan, which was created with input from elected officials, department heads, and stakeholders. The plan outlines a vision for a friendly, safe, and healthy county, emphasizing community investment and thriving families. The mission focuses on delivering excellent customer service while ensuring financial sustainability.

The strategic plan is built around six key goals: high-performing government, thoughtful growth, a customer-focused workforce, strong community safety, financial stability, and innovative facilities. Clemons acknowledged the leadership of various county officials in overseeing these goals, noting the collaborative efforts of commissioners and department heads.

A significant announcement during the meeting was the launch of a new dashboard, set to go live on May 2, 2025. This dashboard will provide both internal and external stakeholders with real-time updates on the progress of the county's strategic goals, including project completion percentages and budget impacts. Clemons expressed optimism that this tool would enhance transparency and accountability in the county's operations.

Additionally, the meeting addressed personnel changes, including the establishment of a death inquest investigator team and the hiring of new staff for various departments. Clemons also discussed ongoing training initiatives and departmental reorganizations aimed at improving efficiency and service delivery.

The court plans to continue refining its strategic plan and will present further updates in June, focusing on operational efficiencies and compliance with mandated codes. The meeting underscored the county's commitment to fostering a collaborative environment and enhancing public service through strategic planning and effective management.
