Item # 4.a.

City Council (FY24)

Meeting Date:	03/05/2024
Department:	City Manager

AGENDA CAPTION:

Consider action on a Resolution approving the Vision Statement, Key Focus Areas, and Strategic Objectives of the Addison Strategic Plan.

BACKGROUND:

Since 2016, Addison's City Council has met annually to discuss strategic questions and identify key priorities for the Town. The last annual plan (FY2024 Vision Statement, Strategic Pillars, and Milestones) was adopted by Council through Resolution on April 25, 2023. The plan is used to assist with the annual budget development and propose the allocation of resources with Council identified priorities, to guide staff and the organization's efforts, and to measure progress towards defined goals.

On Thursday, Feb. 8 and Friday, Feb. 9, 2024, City Council met in a Special Meeting to discuss and develop an updated plan with the assistance of an outside facilitator (Nick Kittle with Sustainovation) and input from Town staff.

A new format for the strategic plan was introduced:
Key Focus Areas: Key areas around which we build and focus our efforts and resources.
Strategic Objectives: Top ways that we succeed in our Key Focus Areas (~3-7 per Key Focus Area).
Initiatives: Specific means by which we accomplish our Strategic Objectives.

Through the discussions, Council developed proposed Key Focus Areas and Strategic Objectives. In a work session on February 27, 2024, Council reviewed the draft Vision Statement, Key Focus Areas, and Strategic Objectives.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval.
