Description of Item: We would like to propose the development of a Strategic Plan
Committee. This committee would be responsible for identifying Paris's / Lamar County's
strengths, areas for opportunity, and defining the direction we would like to grow as a
community. One of the outputs of this committee would be to define clear, measurable,
milestones for which to monitor our progress. This committee should be visionary in
nature developing 5, 10, 20 and 20+ year goals based on the direction we want to move.
The committee should be comprised of a cross functional group of citizens representing
multiple facets of our community. The proposed list is contained on page #2 of this
document. We wish this list to be included in the Agenda Information Packets as food for
thought for the other council members. Lastly this is a joint request from Kevin Kear and
Rhonda Rogers.
This would be for discussion and possible action.
Are additional sheets or supporting materials attached? ❑ Yes 2 No
I request that this item be placed on the agenda for the:
Z City Council meeting on this date: 08/10/2009
❑ Sometime in the next 2 meetings
