At May 29 Council meeting there will be a presentation on the proposed corporate strategic plan for 2023-2026. As reviewed in the report on same which will be discussed following the presentation there has been a significant amount of prepartory work. I think the new framework is a good change as it is simple: What do you want to achieve (objective) and what will indicate that you have achieved it (Key results). The objectives and key results will be constant for 2023-2026; annually the actions (what is being done to achieve the results) will be reported. Accordingly, budgets, resource decisions will be driven by the actions.
I do have some questions/concerns about the plan:
- some of the indicated key results for tree canopy and nature are not aggressive enough as the identified result is a strategy in 2026 as opposed to executing the strateg
- key results re climate change seem to be exclusively about corporate; what about the leaderships and work the municipality needs to do with community
- I think the rationale for improving our capital assets needs to be expanded to include preparedness for impact of climate change
I welcome your comments and questions about the new strategic plan. To make a deputation please register at clerks@king.ca by noon May 29. Or, you can email council at same address and same timing. And you can also make a comment here or contact me directly.
Debbie: Thank you for summarizing the over 500 pages of material to be considered at the Council meeting this evening. This is a heavy load to navigate given that it was only posted last Thursday. Thank you for getting through all this information.
