REQUEST FOR LA PORTE DEVELOPMENT CORP. AGENDA ITEM <br />Agenda Date Requested: April 22, 2013 <br />Requested By: Scott Livingston <br />Department: Administration/ED <br />Report: Resolution: Ordinance: <br />Exhibit: Adopted Strategic Plan <br />Budget <br />Source of Funds: <br />Account Number: <br />Amount Budgeted: <br />Amount Requested: <br />Budgeted Item: YES NO <br />SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION <br />In October 2012, the Council conducted a planning session to formulate a 5 -year strategic plan. <br />This plan will provide guidance to staff as to Council priorities and provides goals that the <br />Council would like to see for this community within the 5 -year period. Much like the budget, <br />the Strategic Plan is an excellent communication tool to convey to any reader what is most <br />important to La Porte. The Council identified six goals and then worked together with Executive <br />Staff to create objectives for each goal. <br />Subsequent to this planning session, Executive Staff met to continue fleshing out the objectives, <br />adding objectives when necessary, and identifying additional goals, as appropriate. <br />The adopted Strategic Plan is attached for Board reference. The current Economic Development <br />Strategic Plan expires this year. In the near future, staff would like to conduct a similar exercise <br />with this Board to make sure that, in addition to the economic development goals identified by <br />Council, the Board's priorities are included in a revised 5 -Year Economic Development Strategic <br />Plan. <br />Action Required by La Porte Development Corporation Board: <br />None. <br />Approved for La Porte Development Corporation Board Aeenda <br />Corby D. Alexander, City Manager <br />Date <br />
