(CARRIED 6-0 LOST LAID OVER WITHDRAWN )
PURPOSE: APPROVE 2019-2020 STRATEGIC PLAN
INITIATED BY: CITY MANAGER
WHEREAS, the Oshkosh Common Council had previously adopted a Strategic
Plan for the City which identified priority goals and initiatives for the short term and long
term success of the City; and
WHEREAS, City staff has successfully executed many initiatives contained in the
2017-2018 Strategic Plan: and
WHEREAS, the Common Council had determined that the Strategic Plan should
be reviewed on a biennial basis; and
WHEREAS, the Common Council, City Manager and City Department Heads
have conducted a Strategic Planning Session in which future priority goals were
identified; and
WHEREAS, City Staff have worked together to identify objectives and strategies
to accomplish said priority goals, including ways in which staff can measure the
accomplishment of said priority goals; and
WHEREAS, the 2019-2020 Strategic Plan will provide the City with a focal point
for its future priorities and actions;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Oshkosh Common Council
hereby adopts the 2019-2020 Strategic Plan in substantially the same form as attached
hereto, any changes in the final published document to be approved by the City Manager.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oshkosh Common Council directs the City
Manager to implement activities identified in the 2019-2020 Strategic Plan in order to
meet the goals established by the Common Council through the Strategic Planning
process.
DATE: October 17, 2018
TO: Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: John Fitzpatrick, Assistant City Manager / Director of Administrative Services
RE: Strategic Plan for 2019-2020
Attached for approval is the finalized Strategic Plan developed by our Council Members, Department
Heads, and Supervisors for the 2019 & 2020 cycle. This plan is the product of many hours of work that
included:
• A review of our Citizen Survey,
• Council Member and Staff interaction with Community Members,
• Individual and joint planning sessions involving dialog, with and between Council Members,
Department Heads and Supervisors,
• As well as formal surveys, performance assessment, prioritization & analysis of community
issues.
Although the document attached illustrates numerous major goals, objectives, and strategies, please
know that there have been many more detailed tactics that have also been developed in order to
provide clarity, understanding, responsibility and goal congruency to all levels of our organization. In
addition to this plan becoming interwoven with employee actions at all levels, metric and dashboard
information will also be implemented beginning in 2019 to facilitate ongoing assessment.
These efforts, building upon the work of previous Council Members and Staff, have yielded what I
believe to be, the best strategic planning product we have developed to date as an organization.
Moving forward, it will be all our responsibilities to follow it carefully to ensure that this plan becomes
a reality. Thank you for your support and assistance with this process, and please let me know if you
have any questions.
Approved,
Mark A. Rohloff
City Manager
