Daytona Beach Shores commission agrees to in-house strategic planning process after six years
Summary
Commissioners directed staff to prepare an in-house strategic planning or visioning session, revisiting goals set about six years earlier; commissioners indicated staff facilitation could avoid external costs.
City commissioners on Jan. 7 agreed to resume strategic planning and visioning work that the commission had not undertaken since about 2019, and they asked staff to begin planning an in-house session.
The city manager told the commission it has been almost six years since the last formal strategic planning process and asked whether the commission wanted to conduct a new process. Commissioners expressed support for an in-house session using staff facilitation rather than contracting outside facilitators, citing cost and the value of reviewing past goals and accomplishments. The commission directed the city manager to begin steps to plan the session; no formal procurement or outside-facilitator contract was authorized at the meeting.
Why it matters: Strategic planning sets policy priorities and can guide budget and capital planning. Commissioners said they wanted to review progress on past goals and identify priorities for the coming years without incurring high facilitator costs.
Staff will return with a proposed in-house process and schedule for the commission’s approval.
