Title
Request to Approve the 2021/2022 Updated Policy Priorities and Action Agenda as Part of the Annual Refresh to the Strategic Plan for the City of Gainesville (B)
This is a request for the City Commission to approve the updated 2021/2022 Policy Priorities and Action Agenda for the Strategic Plan that has been developed for the City of Gainesville.
Explanation
In 2020, the City retained a strategic planning consultant to assist in the development of a comprehensive strategic plan for the City.

The vision, mission, principles and strategic goals are our long-term direction and therefore remained the same this year.
The Annual Action Agenda is updated each year with input from the City Commission, Charter Officers and Leadership Teams and is used to track progress against the strategic plan.
