The Priority Goals outlined in this report are the result of a special <br /> planning retreat of the Decatur City Council held on August 18, <br /> 2023 at The Decatur Club. The previous biennial plan has been <br /> revised to reflect new directions provided by the City Council. <br /> Although the strategic plan changes every two years, past and <br /> current iterations reflect: 1) that many initiatives are multi-year or <br /> continuously ongoing projects; and 2) there is comparative <br /> consistency, continuity, and agreement about the council's broad <br /> goals moving forward, and that goals #1 and #2 remain the city's <br /> highest priorities. Additions to the 2023-2025 plan from previous <br /> plans include: a) a list of quantifiable performance outcomes to <br /> measure future success; and b) a vision statement. <br /> Achieving the council's goals is not entirely the responsibility of <br /> municipal government—many goals, in fact, cannot be realized <br /> without close partnerships and cooperation with other entities. <br /> organizations,community But this document articulates where the <br /> city is willing to lead, and what many of the most realistic <br /> strategies and initiatives should be, to make Decatur better. <br /> VISION STATEMENT <br /> The city of Decatur will be identified regionally as a compassionate <br /> family-friendly community; .his means theFe4s. with a sustainable <br /> commitment to better physical and mental health, making U <br /> vibrant business districts, a destination for persons of a-11 ages <br /> ^rest inn ^ city is vibrant p safe planning f^r non- <br /> motorized <br /> and a citizenry that cares for one <br /> another' , aid <br /> by creating opportunities for people to succeed. <br /> Page 1 2 <br />
