Riley County commissioners on Oct. 9 adopted the county's strategic plan by Resolution No. 100925.

A county staff member explained the plan had been prepared and circulated earlier in the year but was never formally adopted during the annual review; the staff member said, “we realized you folks never actually formally approved and adopted the strategic plan. So that is why it is before you now to formally do that.” A commissioner moved to approve the resolution and a second followed; the board approved the resolution by voice vote.

County staff said the formal adoption completes the administrative step needed in the plan-review cycle and allows staff to proceed with employee-day activities and other plan implementation steps mentioned in county offices.
