Memorandum 14-158
TO: Mayor Wythe and Homer City Council
THROUGH: Walt Wrede, City Manager
FROM: Katie Koester, Community and Economic Development Coordinator
DATE: October 8, 2014
SUBJECT: Strategic Implementation Planning
The purpose of this memo is to update the Mayor and Council on the Strategic Implementation Planning session on Saturday October 25, 9:00am-4:30pm (30 minute lunch break, lunch will be provided).
As you recall from the last strategic implementation planning update, the facilitator from the University of Alaska Center for Economic Development, Melissa Houston is becoming familiar with City of Homer plans. The Comprehensive Plan will ground the conversation, but she has been asked to review the plans adopted under the Comprehensive Plan and the implementation tables from the Water Sewer Master Plan and Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy.
Because the Comprehensive Plan will provide the launching point for the strategic implementation planning session, I have collected ‘status updates’ from the various City departments on each strategy outlined in the implementation plan. The individual strategies in the implementation table of the Comprehensive Plan and Homer Spit Comprehensive Plan will be analyzed, mapped, and prioritized over the course of the strategic implementation planning. A packet will be prepared for the meeting and distributed on Monday October 20. However, I have also attached the Comprehensive Plan implementation table status updates to this memo. As materials become available, they are posted on the City Council web page: http://www.cityofhomer-ak.gov/citycouncil/strategic-implementation-planning
October 25 will begin with an introduction to the strategic doing model from Melissa. Next she will present the Council with her map of the individual strategies in the Comprehensive Plan Implementation Table according to the 4 quadrants of the Portfolio Model of Civic Innovation and collect feedback from Council. From there she will lead the council in a numerical prioritization exercise. The last part of the day will be spent looking at the strategic doing model as it applies to implementation.
Thank you for taking the time to be part of this important exercise.
