The Carson City Board of Supervisors convened on September 18, 2025, to discuss the annual report on the city's strategic plan, presented by Deputy City Manager Stephanie Hicks. The meeting highlighted the progress made over the past year and set the stage for the upcoming five-year strategic planning process.
Hicks began by noting that this was the fourth annual report presented to the board, with one more expected before the current strategic plan concludes. She emphasized the importance of performance measures in assessing the effectiveness of the city's tactics, which have remained consistent over the past four years. This year marked a significant effort to quantify achievements, allowing for a clearer demonstration of progress.
The report detailed that out of 136 tactics outlined in the strategic plan, 126 are ongoing, with 112 on schedule, 50 completed, and 62 in progress. However, 10 tactics are overdue, though most are nearing completion. Hicks acknowledged that some timelines may have been overly ambitious but reassured the board that many overdue items are actively being addressed.
Key accomplishments highlighted in the report included the completion of the master plan update, the opening of Fire Station 55, and advancements in automated data entry for criminal cases. Additionally, the city has been evaluating the expansion of the Carson City Justice and Municipal Court and implementing a juvenile facility needs assessment.
Hicks proposed the closure of one tactic: the evaluation of splitting the clerk recorder position into two separate roles, which was deemed unnecessary after discussions with the current clerk recorder.
The meeting concluded with Hicks encouraging the board to review the dynamic dashboard that tracks the status of each tactic, which will be available by the end of the week. The dashboard will provide cumulative reporting and detailed progress on specific goals.
Overall, the meeting underscored the city's commitment to strategic planning and performance measurement, setting a foundation for future initiatives as the board prepares to launch the next five-year strategic plan.
