STRATEGIC RELEVANCE:

 

To set Council’s strategic priorities as of January 2017 and support those priorities with operational strategies updated by staff.

 

BACKGROUND:

 

In January, 2017 Council met to review and discuss revisions and updates to the Strategic Priorities 2015 - 2019 document. Staff were then directed to update the operational strategies based on the Council discussion and revisions.

 

At the March 13, 2017 Committee of the Whole, both the strategic priorities and the operational strategies as updated were presented for consideration and further direction. Direction was given to add back one operational strategy that had been removed.

 

ISSUES: 

 

1.  Rationale for Selected Option

The strategic priorities and operational strategies as attached have been updated as per Council and Committee of the Whole direction.

 

2.  Organizational Implications

The strategic priorities were used to guide staff in updating the operational strategies and all updates have been incorporated into the attached documents.

 

3.  Financial Implications

Sufficient resources will be allocated and recommended to accommodate work programs and to achieve strategic priorities during 2017 budget discussions.

 

4.  Sustainability & Environmental Implications

There are no sustainability nor environmental implications.

 

5.  Communication & Engagement 

Once approved, the Strategic Priorities 2015 - 2019 will be distributed to all staff for continued implementation and to inform their work plans. Staff reports will refer to the Strategic Priorities where relevant throughout the year and staff will provide updates on the status of all initiatives as part of period reports. The First Period Reports will be presented at a Special Committee of the Whole meeting scheduled for May 8th.

 

The poster size copy of the Strategic Priorities chart in the Council Chamber will be updated, as will the laminated copies for each Council desk.

 

A copy of the finalized documents will also be posted on the website and a copy will be provided to all Advisory Committees.

2.                     That Council make further modifications to the draft documents and approve as amended.
