CC Special Work Session Meeting Date: 06/06/2023 Title: Annual Strategic Planning Session Purpose/Background: 2.1. This will be the second session held to review and update the Strategic Plan for 2023. The first session was held on April 24, 2023, at that meeting the group focused on the Objectives and Strategies. There was a portion of the evening spent on the subsequent Action Items, however, time did not allow for a full review. Council directed staff to update the plan based on what was discussed, and to identify necessary updates and provide ideas for additional Action Items. A draft updated Strategic Plan is attached for review. Additionally, a one -page summary document has been created in order to better share with the public what the high level items of the plan include. This summary document focuses on the Values, Vision, Mission, Objectives and Strategies established within the plan. Lastly, attached is also the progress status of the 2022 Action Plan. Completed items are highlighted in green and items where progress has been made are highlighted in yellow.
