The outcome of this process will be a policy document that defines the City’s <br />vision and identifies citywide goals over the next five years. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br />Process Overview <br />In November 2022, the City retained the services of Baker Tilly, LP to assist with the <br />development of the citywide Strategic Plan. The result of the process will be a five-year <br />Strategic Plan with multi-year goals that align with the City’s mission, vision, and values <br />and strategies to achieve the goals. <br /> <br />In February 2023, as shown in the figure below, staff began the information gathering <br />phase of the strategic plan. This phase involved participation from the City Council, City <br />staff, and the Pleasanton community. <br /> <br />Figure 1. Strategic Planning Process Timeline <br /> <br />x Council Interviews. The first step was to seek early input from City Council <br />through individual interviews to understand their perspectives on key <br />accomplishments and challenges, vision for the city, and important policy <br />interests. These interviews informed the subsequent stages of information <br />gathering. <br /> <br />x Executive Team Input. Information was obtained from the City’s executive team <br />through a comprehensive gap analysis questionnaire to understand major <br />projects and initiatives currently underway, planned, and desired. <br /> <br />x Mid-Manager Input.
