Wyoming staff reports near‑50% completion of five‑year strategic plan

City staff presented the second-quarter update of Wyoming's five-year strategic plan at the July 21 council meeting, reporting that the plan is roughly half complete and highlighting brand rollout, placemaking projects and pilot steps toward affordable housing.

“There's 9 goals and 34 objectives that staff are working hard to move forward every day,” said Patrick, a city staff member who delivered the quarterly report. He told the council the plan is roughly 50% complete at the June reporting point and that the city has seen a 14% increase in measurable completion since the previous update.

Patrick highlighted several items: the new city brand, which staff have placed on a water tower and started incorporating into street signs and vehicles; a request-for-proposals process for a new city website that produced 19 proposals; placemaking and city-center infrastructure nearing completion, including a pedestrian bridge and plaza; and a ribbon-cutting scheduled Aug. 16 for the Godwin Mercado event center. He also noted progress on community events and trails, and said the council recently adopted an ordinance creating a pathway for affordable-housing pilot projects.

Councilmembers thanked staff for the report and noted the plan’s transparency. Patrick said the plan is organized under three pillars — community, safety and stewardship — and that some objectives are nearing completion while others remain longer-term priorities.

The update was informational; no formal vote was required.
