Council adopts Town of Sahuarita Strategic Plan 2026'2030
Summary
The council formally adopted the Town of Sahuarita Strategic Plan for 2026'2030, endorsing five focus areas (economic expansion/placemaking; outreach/communications; infrastructure/facilities; community well-being; high-performance organization) and directing staff to align the upcoming budget to the plan.
The Town of Sahuarita council voted to adopt the Strategic Plan 2026'2030 after a presentation from Victor Gonzales, the town's economic development and communications director.
Gonzales summarized five focus areas and related objectives: economic expansion and placemaking (market and employment-site strategies, streamlined development review), outreach and communications (resident surveys, digital/in-person engagement and strengthening volunteer committees), infrastructure and facilities (transportation, utilities and asset-management priorities), community well-being (accessible programs and staffing targets) and a high-performance organization (modernized systems, fiscal planning and customer service improvements).
Council members thanked staff and said the plan would help align resources for the upcoming priority-based budget process. One council member said the plan reflected the council's retreat work and should support scoring and alignment during budget prioritization.
A motion to adopt the plan as presented passed by voice vote. Staff noted next steps include formal adoption, continued outreach (resident survey postcards and QR codes), and incorporation of objectives into the priority-based budgeting process.
Next steps: staff to implement outreach steps, incorporate strategic objectives into the budget process, and return as needed with updates on implementation.
