Purpose

Summary

Parkland County provides updates to the public and to residents on an ongoing basis throughout the year using various methods, while also providing a State of the County Address on an annual basis. There is an opportunity to be innovative and provide additional value to residents through the development of a short Year-End Report. The report would provide information, statistics, and future plans to residents in a user-friendly, creative format that could be published in a number of different ways (i.e. in print, online, and on promotional material). It is important to provide residents with information in an easy-to-read, consolidated format to ensure transparency, accountability, and to support community engagement.

 

Strategic Plan/Policy/Legal/Staff Implications

This initiative supports all areas of Parkland County's 2016-20 Strategic Plan.
