Bartlett reviews draft strategic plan; consultant to host 'measure gallery' for staff and public input
Summary
Consultant Corey Plash and staff presented a streamlined draft strategic plan that outlines five goals and measurable targets. Trustees asked clarifying questions about timelines, grants and public engagement; staff and consultant said they will host a measure gallery (in‑person plus digital options) before finalizing targets and initiatives.
The village consultant, Corey Plash of CP2 Consulting, presented a refined draft strategic plan that centers on five goals: financial sustainability; future‑focused development; quality of life; a future‑ready workforce; and preserving critical infrastructure.
Plash reviewed the plan's outcomes, explained the difference between outcomes and targets, and proposed a 'measure gallery' — an open‑house format where staff and residents can review proposed measures and offer input before targets are finalized. Plash and staff recommended a mixed engagement approach that includes an in‑person open house (to give context and allow staff to answer questions) and digital options to reach residents who cannot attend in person.
Trustees asked detailed questions about the plan's timelines and specific items: a water and sewer study listed a completion date of 2026 on the draft, which staff and the consultant said was a typographical error and should read 2025; trustees also asked whether a grant matrix should be timed to align with the capital and budget process. Several trustees urged broader outreach to underengaged populations, including digital notification and targeted invitations to groups or stakeholders.
Plash said the measure gallery will allow staff and the public to review proposed measures and offer revisions before CP2 finalizes targets and initiatives. The consultant will return with a final report and graphic materials for public release after the engagement period.
No formal adoption occurred at this meeting; staff will schedule the measure gallery and return a final plan for board consideration after public input is collected.
