2022 Strategic Priorities Discussion
Recommended Action
This item is for discussion only, any potential adoption of priorities is anticipated to occur at a subsequent meeting.
Body
The County Council meets annually to discuss the prior year's accomplishments and to establish strategic priorities for the subsequent calendar year. This evening's meeting is intended to accomplish these tasks. Based on direction from the Council Chair, tonight's discussion will begin with a brief review of progress towards last year's Strategic Leadership Plan (Attachment A); then a high level consideration of this plan regarding any potential additions/deletions to the 2021 plan in order to create the Strategic Leadership Plan for 2022; and then finally a review of each FY 2022 proposed Strategic Priority to clarify the intended outcomes and consider any refinements. Once the strategic priorities for the upcoming year are identified and discussed, staff will take this information and incorporate it into the prior year's plan in order to create the FY 2022 plan, and this updated draft plan will be brought back to Council for final discussion and potential approval at a subsequent meeting.
