Current Plan
Strategic Plan Update
The City is launching a community-driven Strategic Plan update process to help chart our shared future. This plan will guide how we deliver services, set priorities, and invest resources over the coming years, with staff perspectives playing an important role alongside community input.
Why are we updating our strategic plan?
A lot is changing in our community, and we want to plan ahead with intention.
This work will help us:
- Create a clear vision for where we are headed.
- Understand what matters most to the community.
- Align City Council, staff, and departments around common goals.
- Support smart decision-making and responsible budgeting.
- Track our progress and show how your input shapes the work we do.
In short, we want to be proactive, thoughtful, and transparent. This plan helps us do just that.
What is the timeline?
Planning and Scoping
August-September 2025
The project started by aligning the project team, reviewing past plans and data, organizing workshop details, and preparing for Council conversations.
Council Workshop
September-October 2025
We met with the Council to hear their priorities, held the strategic planning workshop, and compiled the major themes that emerged.
Engagement
November 2025-January 2026
We are connecting with staff and community members through various engagement activities to understand their values, priorities, and insights to inform the plan update. This step included a series of Question of the Week posts on social media, a community survey, in-person engagement events throughout the city, and more.
Plan Development
February-April 2026
We will use insights from staff and the community to draft the City’s mission, vision, goals, and values, guiding the development of the full strategic plan, which will be reviewed and finalized before Council adopts it as a roadmap for the City’s future.
