The Town continues to: make excellent progress in accomplishing the goals of our FY2023-2027 Strategic Plan. The plan is built around our Strategic Goals, Objectives and Action Items which II have defined below. Strategic Goals Leaning on the Mission, Vision, Core Values, and SWOT analysis as guiding influences, strategic goals solicit actions towards a particular expected outcome intended to be delivered within the strategic planning period. These strategic goals lean on the core values to dictate how to accomplish our mission while also propelling us towards our vision. Objectives- The purpose ofan objective ist to specify desired outcomes that together satisfy a strategic goal. Objectives can carry over from year to year, but should define an ultimate deliverable or outcome that signifies progress towards completing the strategic goal. Action Items The most specific element ofa strategic plan is the action item. Action items are specific tasks, assigned to a department or employee, and are completed within the year. The Strategic Plan is anchored by 12 Goals and these Goals can only be reached when the 48 Objectives and 120. Action Items are in alignment and completed. Inl FY23-24 Town departments completed 72% of Action Items and continue to work to achieve 27% (FY23-24 Goals, Objectives and Action Items Chart Attached). One Action Item was Incomplete, meaning that no progress was made during the year in achieving it. See Charts 1 and 2 fora a visual on the data. Out ofthe 120 Action Items, 32% (38) are multi-year goals. This means either the goal resets at the beginning of each year like "Meet NFPA 1720 for "Low Hazard" 90% of the Time" or iti is understood that it will take several years to accomplish the task like Update Water & Sewer Asset Inventory and Assessment Plans".
