A collaborative process was used to develop this Strategic Plan. Various stakeholders were involved throughout the process, including City residents, business-owners, and Council Members. This process included the preparation of an environmental scan in which quantitative and qualitative data was analyzed, a community strategic plan survey which resulted in an astounding 1,271 responses, and a workshop with the City Council and executive staff.

The Strategic Plan also includes an Implementation Action Plan which identifies and lists all strategies, key implementation tasks, lead responsibilities, other agency involvement, staff and financial resources, timeline, and success indicators for each goal. This management tool will guide City staff's work and continue to be updated to ensure that the established goals are being achieved.
