LONG-TERM STRATEGIC PLAN

Issues Identified:

Each year the City Council reviews the current status of City services and discusses internal and external
factors, which impact them. Many issues are reviewed, including but not limited to:

Multi-Year Financial Plan
Budgeting and Financial Forecasts
Infrastructure Maintenance
Public Safety Issues
Capital Improvement Program
New Development
Redevelopment
Fiscal and Environmental Conditions
Community Relations
Impact of the North East Mall Development
Performance Measures
Contracting Services

Departmental Action Plans Developed:

The long term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are still relatively unknown; however, in the early
stages we operated under information available at that time. Council typically holds their strategy
planning session in March but determined to cancel that meeting. The Strategic Plan has not changes
significantly since 2017 and, the City Manager worked with the Council to establish budgetary goals
consistent with the current plan and focused on maintaining core services while making budgetary cuts
where possible. Department then determined specific goals and objectives in support of the Strategic
Plan and Hurst Way. The goals are shown in the performance measures section of each division
throughout the budget. Objectives are tied to performance measures throughout the budget document.
