3. Continued Discussion of Strategic Priorities for 2020 – 2024 Strategic Plan for
Economic Development facilitated by Craig Rapp with Rapp Consulting Group
Mr. Rapp began the work session by reviewing the strategic planning process from
the October 29 work session and the EDC’s identified Strategic Priorities. It was
determined that the fifth priority, Transportation, should not be included as a
standalone strategic priority and instead should be viewed as facilitating a desired
outcome under one of the other four priorities - 1. Business Retention, Expansion
and Diversification; 2. Maximize and Market Our Competitive Edge; 3. Housing to
Support Economic Goals; 4. Workforce Availability and Utilization.
Attendees were then split into two groups and each group discussed two priorities
(Business Retention, Expansion and Diversification + Maximize and Market Our
Competitive Edge and Housing to Support Economic Goals + Workforce Availability
and Utilization) and determine Desired Outcomes, Key Outcome Indicators and
Targets for each priority.
At the end of the work session, the EDC member groups presented their results and
the full group agreed on the list of Desired Outcomes, Key Outcome Indicators and
Targets. Rapp Consulting will send an updated draft of the Strategic Plan Summary
to city staff by December 5 so the draft document can be discussed during the City
Council work session on December 9.
