Strategic Plan 2017 through 2023

The Strategic Plan 2017 through 2023

The Strategic Plan is intended as a guiding document to be utilized for annual goal-setting, budgeting, and evaluation processes to direct the Village’s actions, investments, and engagements with partners from October 1, 2017, to September 30, 2023. By formulating a long-term Strategic Plan, the Village can better focus on prioritized actions and investments required to support its vision of the future.

The Strategic Plan is the product of a series of four public workshops held during June, July, and August 2017 attended by all members of the Village Council, Village Department Directors, and other key Village staff. The Plan is comprised of 30 Goals organized generally in the order ranked during the workshop process.

The Plan combines the information gathered during the four public workshops into a guiding document to be utilized for annual goal-setting, budgeting, and evaluation processes to direct the Village’s actions, investments, and engagements with partners from October 1, 2017, to September 30, 2023.

The Strategic Plan is intended to serve as a roadmap to be used to prioritize resources, both financial and departmental, to achieve the identified Goals. The Plan will also serve as a management tool to evaluate performance and progress made by the Village Manager and Village departments to achieve the Goals and Objectives set forth.

For each Goal, the SMART objectives are documented, the responsible department or responsible party is identified and the date for completion of the objective is provided. The Focus Area for each Goal is noted in the Strategic Plan to provide context.
