12 <br /> 1 Chair Price said it is possible for strategic planning to be done across a longer or shorter <br /> 2 time period depending on the Board's direction and approach. She said while she likes the <br /> 3 goals, they are more like vision statements. She said having the bare bones of a strategic plan <br /> 4 would help new commissioners coming on, and would also help the community understand <br /> 5 where the county is and where it's going. She said the strategic plan has to be a living <br /> 6 document, but can at least provide some direction to departments and others. <br /> 7 Commissioner Richards said there are many ways to do strategic planning, and it can be <br /> 8 really detailed or not. She said she sometimes hears that there was some Board at some time <br /> 9 that said a future Board could never touch xyz, like the rural buffer. She asked how this impacts <br /> 10 and limits the Board for planning for the future. She said these past decisions and goals are tied <br /> 11 to broad strategies that guide what the departments are doing. She said the other complication <br /> 12 for her is how advisory boards and their goals and priorities all tie in. <br /> 13 Lydian Altman reviewed what notes she took on the Board's "Goals" sheet, and <br /> 14 summarized what she heard from the Board. She asked if staff has anything to add. <br /> 15 Travis Myren said the degree of community input and the Board's goal for the strategic <br /> 16 plan would determine how long it takes, associated costs, etc. <br /> 17 Lydian Altman agreed with Travis Myren. <br /> 18 Travis Myren said it would be easy to convene the Board and for staff to ask the <br /> 19 strategic questions and get direction, but the community engagement part can be more <br /> 20 complicated depending on the Board's desires and direction. <br /> 21 <br /> 22 Lydian Altman resumed the PowerPoint presentation: <br /> Why Man? <br /> Pnaifize Be clear about priorities <br /> Alla Allocate resources <br /> SENT towards those priorities <br /> °"°g• Manage performance to <br /> carry Gaut the funded <br /> programs <br /> • Evaluate performance in <br /> terms of objectives <br /> 23 �� <br />
