11: City,/ im Louisville COLORADO • SINCE 1878 CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION AGENDA ITEM 2 SUBJECT: STRATEGIC PLAN PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION/DIRECTION ON IMPLEMENTATION DATE: DECEMBER 11, 2018 PRESENTED BY: MEGAN DAVIS, DEPUTY CITY MANAGER JULIA NOVAK, THE NOVAK CONSULTING GROUP SUMMARY: The City has contracted with The Novak Consulting Group (TNCG) to complete an organizational strategic plan for the City of Louisville. TNCG will present the final Strategic Plan, including the 2019-20 Priority Initiatives, and staff will present the plan for Strategic Plan Implementation. BACKGROUND: Through the City Council's facilitated 2018 work planning sessions and the 2017 hiring process for the City Manager, City Council expressed interest in developing a strategic plan for the work of the City of Louisville. The strategic plan would serve as a road map for the work of the City of Louisville, strengthen the organizational culture, and serve as a communication tool for the community to understand the strategic vision and operating principles of the organization. The City completed an RFP process in July to retain a consultant to assist with the development of a strategic plan, and City Council approved a contract with TNCG on August 7, 2018. TNCG has guided the City through a strategic planning process which involved the establishment of a clear vision and mission for the organization, defining the organization's values, identifying priority initiatives, and creating an implementation plan. City Council provided input on the Strategic Plan framework (the Vision, Mission, Values and Critical Success Factors) at its October 30th meeting. Since that time, staff has incorporated Council input and completed a process to identify Priority Initiatives that reflect some of the efforts the City will undertake in the next one to two years within each of the Critical Success Factors. The Priority Initiatives include emerging projects, programs, or investments that were included in the 2019-20 biennial budget, which was developed through extensive staff and Council discussion. These key initiatives represent efforts that are above and beyond our daily operations, represent an increased level of service, have new or additional dedicated resources and funding, and help advance the City's vision. The City has many initiatives ongoing throughout the year, in addition to the daily operations required to run the City, and so the Priority Initiatives are not intended to be inclusive of all the City's work. The City also follows a biennial budget process with a program budget that is organized into 10 program areas and 38 sub -programs, with goals and objectives for each. The CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION 2
