Lebanon task force to use SWOT analysis, assign homework and meet early mornings
Summary
Members endorsed a SWOT exercise and agreed to homework to review master-plan chapters; the group set an early-morning meeting schedule to accelerate work and coordinate with planning staff.
Task force members recommended practical steps to keep the project moving while planning-board work continues. Speaker 3 recommended a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis as a near-term tool to focus the strategic plan, and Fire Chief Jim Wheatley supported that approach, saying the SWOT would be useful now while master-plan chapters are finalized.
Members agreed on homework: to review recent master-plan chapters and an article circulated by the City Manager on strategic planning in small communities. They also set the next meeting for the following Tuesday at 08:30 a.m. and discussed recurring 08:30 to 10 a.m. meetings so staff can attend during regular work hours. The group acknowledged competing operational demands but emphasized meeting frequently enough to complete the task force's charge within the agreed timeline.
