Staff summarized a 14-page internal strategic-planning document prepared by consultant Kevin Johnson of Express Pros and asked council for feedback to shape a public-facing plan.
The staff member explained the consultant grouped priorities into three themes—shaping community life, activating economic investment and building organizational capacity—and identified six focus areas under those themes, including community district development, connectivity (safe streets and pedestrian concerns), investment readiness and operational performance.
Council members were invited to review the report and return comments so staff and the consultant can prepare a less granular public document. No formal action was taken; the item was informational and part of staff's broader work to align capital and grant priorities.
