Commissioners Court directed the Office of County Administration (OCA) to work with a Strategic Planning Committee comprised of one representative from each Commissioners Court office to conduct a two-phased strategic planning process that substantially involves Commissioners Court members and department leadership and staff. The first phase, which should conclude no later than April 16, 2024, would result in a 5-year County Strategic Plan. The second phase, which should conclude no later than December 17, 2024, would result in departments that report through CA further developing their department-specific strategic direction and associated performance measures to align their work with the countywide strategic plan. Departments will be offered technical assistance to support this work. |
