Purpose
To provide Governance and Priorities Committee an overview of the changes made to the Strategic Plan based on discussions at Council's recent Strategic Planning Retreat.
Summary
In February 2012, Council and Senior Management participated in a strategic planning retreat to review and update Council's Strategic Plan. During the retreat, Council made significant amendments to the document, and created a plan that included clear and specific goals to set out the future vision for Parkland County. With the Strategic Plan adopted, Administration set out and identified specific actions to help achieve the strategies identified in the Plan.
Council and senior management once again participated in a review of the Strategic Plan in February 2013. During the retreat, Council reviewed the goals and strategies and made modest changes to reflect the current realities and how current issues could impact the long-term vision. The updated Strategic Plan reflects the changes and adjustments suggested by Council during the strategic planning retreat. The changes are identified in the attached Administrative Report.
Strategic Plan/Policy/Legal/Staff Implications (As Required)
Reviewing and updating the Strategic Plan reflects Council's commitment to good governance by ensuring short term goals meet the long term vision for Parkland County.
