Strategic Plan Action Items Fiscal Year 2022 / 2023 Introduction The following action items have been established in the FY22/23 Budget to help forward the five goals of the City's Strategic Plan. Supporting Statements The following statements are intended to assist the City Council, now and in the future, with understanding some logistics behind the formation and implementation of action items. A. While some action items have direct fiscal notes attached to them, others are administrative in nature and will be carried out through City Council and/or City Staff actions, whether by ordinance, resolution, policy, etc. B. Some action items may be achieved quickly while others may take months and even years to implement. C. The Strategic Plan's five goals are intended to remain the same from fiscal year to fiscal year; however action items will change unless found to still be relevant or ongoing. D. Goals are long term in nature and lend themselves to varying degrees of mechanics and logistics; therefore not all goals will be represented each fiscal year by an equal amount of action items, focus or funding. E. Many action items can serve to address multiple goals. For brevity, each action item will be assigned to a specific goal instead of repeatedly restated, but will be marked to identify other goals it may also be reasonably addressing. F. While it will be a priority for the City Staff to implement all action items, it is also understood that city operations are dynamic. When mixed with limits on staffing and available time, this may interfere with the successful completion or adequate progress of each action item being achieved. Assignment of Responsibility Each year, as part of his/her official duties laid out in Article V of the City of Paris Charter, the City Manager shall submit to the City Council a proposed budget, which budget shall provide a complete financial plan for the fiscal year, and will now contain action items to address the Strategic Plan. Action items will be assigned to a specific department, or multiple departments as appropriate, and will be tracked by the City Manager with a report given to the City Council during the following fiscal year budget process. The City Council may at any time request an update on the status of some or all of the action items. P. 0. BOX 9037 PARIS, TEXAS 75461-9037 (903) 784-9202 FAX (903) 785-8519
