Text Strat Plan


The Strategic Plan 2012-2017 will be an internal action plan for the City of Post Falls.  It will establish a vision for our future, provide clear direction for reaching our goals, and establish priorities and measurable targets that the City can budget around and track. 

The Strategic Plan will help us to:
 
  • Involve the community in directing our future and making strategic decisions
  • Provide clear guidance for established City goals
  • Focus our efforts over a 5 year period with an annual review and reporting
  • Continually assess City services/operations and address deficiencies
  • Establish priorities for City services, operations, departments, and projects
  • Guide tough decisions related to City resources and finances
  • Integrate our budgeting decisions with new financial tools and established goals
It is envisioned that the Strategic Plan will cover a five year period and will include an annual review of our accomplishments that will be documented in an Annual Accomplishments Report.  The process will involve the public through a variety of civic engagement techniques and public outreach events.  The Strategic Plan materials and schedule (with active links to project files) will be available to the public on the City’s website and Facebook page and will be kept up-to-date throughout the process. 
 

As part of the Strategic Plan process, we will be asking these important questions:

  • “Where are we going?”
  • “How do we get there?”
  • “How will we know when we have arrived?”

The City of Post Falls previous Strategic Plan expired in 2006. The approach of the new Strategic Plan is to make it a "living document" that will reflect and adapt to the needs of our community. It will help the City make strategic decisions in our investments, spending, partnerships, services, and day-to-day operations as we move forward during these tough economic times.  It will be easily updated and utilized on a daily basis by Department Heads and staff to track projects and budgets, set annual goals, establish budgets, evaluate Levels of Service, and ensure that we are meeting the ongoing expectations of our citizens.
