Financial and Non-financial Goals and Objectives

Having a strategic vision is one of the core values driving Mansfield forward as we work to fulfill the
needs of a growing community. During the City Council Strategic Planning Workshop in February 2024,
City Council began working to identify priorities for the upcoming year. These priorities are meant to
serve as a roadmap for staff when determining future budget needs, allocation of resources, and
prioritization of projects. This fosters transparency and accountability and allows more effective use of
taxpayer dollars, as resources are directed towards projects that are most crucial to the well-being of the
community.

Incorporated into the overall Strategic Planning session was the following vision statement:

Our vision is to create a vibrant city for people and businesses that value world class experiences,
culture, quality, and a second-to-none level of community service in a hometown environment.

To accomplish this vision, City Council identified five priorities:

These priories also tie directly to the guiding principles set by City Council and Management.
