RESOLUTION NO. 45-17

A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 2017 STRATEGIC PLAN

 

Recitals:

 

The City Council has carefully and diligently considered and formulated a plan for the City to continue to grow and prosper; that plan, which includes four strategic directives is adopted by this resolution and shall be known as the 2017 Strategic Plan (“Strategic Plan.”)

The strategic directives of the Strategic Plan, which are the cornerstones for developing and implementing high level and high priority policy for the City are, diversification of the City’s economic base, as well as a continuing emphasis on planning and infrastructure, public safety and communication, outreach and engagement of those that the City serves.

The City Council and City staff will use the Strategic Plan to both guide policy creation and focus efforts during the next two years. The overall purpose of the Strategic Plan is to inform and direct decision-making and budgeting by and for the City.

Each of the four strategic directives is accompanied by a number of key initiatives. Those initiatives describe more specific actions, programs and ideas designed to bring about the realization of the strategic directives.

Two guiding principles accompany the strategic directives; those principles, which are to foster partnerships and intergovernmental relationships and to exercise continued fiscal responsibility, do not provide specific mandates or actions but instead are intended to guide the way in which the specific strategic directives and initiatives are implemented.

The Strategic Plan communicates the City’s priorities and focus; each strategic directive is designed to highlight the priorities, whether as a strength or weakness, of the City and provide an administrative structure for the Council and staff to attend to those priorities in a defined, deliberate structure. While specific actions are not outlined in the Strategic Plan, City staff will implement, track and regularly report on the progress of the implementation of the Plan.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION THAT:

 

The 2017 Strategic Plan is hereby approved and adopted as generally and specifically provided therein and in accordance with this resolution.

 

PASSED AND APPROVED this 16th day of August, 2017.
