Summary
Council meets annually to review and revise Council's Strategic Plan. At Council's Strategic Planning Retreat in February 2012, Council revisited the goals and strategies to ensure they were current and appropriate. During the course of the retreat, Council revisited its role in the strategic planning process and instead of focusing on strategies, Council articulated clear goals to set out the long-term future of Parkland County.
Once those goals were defined, Administration conducted an evaluation of activities already in place to achieve Council's goals as well as identified new strategies to further advance Council's goals. Those strategies have been incorporated into the attached document, which is being presented for approval. The Plan works to address many concerns of Parkland County residents and provides strategic direction for Administration to create the preferred future for Parkland County.
Council's Strategic Plan will be used by Administration to develop Business Plans and Budgets, ensuring that Parkland County is consistently working to achieve its vision.
Also contained in the Strategic Plan are the proposed new Vision and Mission statements that provide further focus and direction on how Parkland County will achieve its goals.
