Regional planner offers short strategic‑planning process to help county set priorities
Summary
Matt Eddy, director of Midcoast Council of Governments, proposed a three‑meeting strategic‑planning process to identify county priorities and actions; commissioners endorsed the idea and asked staff to coordinate scheduling and preparatory data work.
The board heard a presentation from Matt Eddy, director of the Midcoast Council of Governments, who proposed a simple strategic‑planning process for the county consisting of preliminary data work and three facilitated meetings to identify priorities, objectives and actions. "I've slotted out 3 basic meetings," Eddy said, describing a process that combines trend analysis with stakeholder discussion.
Commissioners said a plan could help with longer‑range projects such as a public safety building and regionalization efforts. They asked Mr. Eddy and staff to coordinate dates and prepare comparative data on county trends and peer counties ahead of the sessions. Commissioners indicated support to proceed; Mr. Eddy agreed to work with Amber on next steps and scheduling.
The presentation is intended to inform longer‑range capital and service planning and will be coordinated with county staff and the budget process.
