Title
Presentation: Council Retreat - overview of key information
Body
Issue/Request:
Staff will provide an overview of key plans and information that will be useful in preparing for the Council Retreat scheduled for October 18 and 19. Attached to this packet are two of the key adopted plans (Strategic Plan and Comprehensive Plan), along with other supporting information which provide overall guidance and direction for the community and stakeholders.

Ultimately, a strategic plan is a fundamental management tool that exists to help the organization improve its delivery of services to the community. A strategic plan articulates a clear vision for the community, establishes critical success factors or goals and identifies priority objectives.
The Comprehensive Plan articulates a series of goals, policies, actions and standards to define the community’s physical development and programs. The Comprehensive Plan implementation time frame is 20 years. The discussions about elements included in the Comprehensive Plan shape the many decisions that affect changes in Lee’s Summit’s
physical and social character. It is reviewed by the Planning Commission annually and updated.
The framework developed during the Ignite! Strategic Plan provides the structure for the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Both plans share the same vision, objectives, and goals, or critical success factors. The strategic plan and comprehensive plan work together to build the future the community desires.
In addition to these two key plans, other master plans exist and provide guidance in our work. Provided below is a listing of master plans that are related and integrated with the Comprehensive Plan:
* Capital Improvement Plan
* Greenway Master Plan
* Thoroughfare Master Plan
* Community for All Ages
* Water Master Plan
* Wastewater Master...
