City unveils updated strategic plan; staff recommends public follow‑up and targeted outreach
Summary
Management Analyst Carlson presented a substantially revised strategic plan and asked the council for guidance on next steps; staff recommended targeted outreach including after‑action public engagement tied to recent emergency events and suggested a public workshop or survey to gather broader input.
Management Analyst Carlson presented an updated version of the city’s strategic plan, noting significant revisions and additions, new completion markers for items that have been achieved, and a list of ongoing priorities. The update incorporates recent work on emergency preparedness, downtown economic strategy and capital projects.
Staff suggestions and council discussion: Carlson asked for council direction about whether to hold a public town‑hall style workshop for plan input, to pair strategic‑plan outreach with the Eaton Fire after‑action engagement, or to use targeted surveys to obtain broader resident input. Several council members favored a focused after‑action public outreach tied to recovery work, and also suggested creating a condensed, scannable status matrix (or dashboard) that summarizes the plan’s goals, target dates and completion status for quick review by the public and council.
Next steps: Staff will incorporate council feedback, add target dates and a dashboard summary, and return with options for public engagement including potential standalone community workshops and online survey instruments.
