A resolution amending the City's Salina Shared Vision Statement and Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
In October of 2006 the City Commission approved a Shared Vision Statement and Strategic Plan for
the community. This action was based on a very inclusive effort from numerous community leaders
that included an inventory of community assets and liabilities, long-term visioning and multi-year goal
recommendations. Since that time the Strategic Plan has been used by the City Commission and
Staff in the following way:
. Community planning;
. Capital improvement project planning and programming;
. Annual budgeting;
. Organizational service review, initiatives, changes and priority setting;
. All policy actions taken by the City Commission; and
. Organizational departmental operations planning
In November of last year, the City Commission engaged in a full day strategic planning exercise
facilitated by organizational consultant Robert J. Saunders of Liberty, Missouri. The purpose was to
review progress of the current plan, vision statement and related goals/action items. As a result of this
effort, Staff presents to you the amended Shared Vision Statement and Strategic Plan for Salina. You
will find that amendments included in the attached resolution (see bold language) include a brief
mission statement, action plan items related to currently established goals, and the inclusion of
"healthy community" as part of Goal 7 to accommodate the clean indoor air ordinance action item.
These amendments were established by consensus at the most recent strategic planning session.
Once approved, Staff will update the City's webpage and all other distribution forms.
FISCAL NOTE:
No funding is required for this item.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends the City Commission:
1) Approve Resolution No. 09-6587 as provided, or
2) Approve Resolution No. 09-6587 as amended
