Local News | Painesville City Council adopts 2024-27 strategic plan
Plan goals include stable economic growth, improved quality of life.
Painesville City Council recently wrapped up an approximately year-long strategic planning process, adopting a plan for 2024-27 that sets goals for the city’s economy, infrastructure, operations and quality of life.
The plan was described by multiple council members as a “living document,” and Council President Jim Fodor said in March that it would “take a life of its own” as city officials worked to implement it. Council will also be able to modify the document.
Fodor added that the document could help new officials understand council’s priorities.
“The strategic plan is really that 10,000-foot view,” he said at a later meeting.
One goal for the plan is to promote economic prosperity, with the objective of providing city departments with the finances that they need to implement improvement plans.
The plan calls for funding to come from stable economic growth from new and existing businesses. It also calls for city utilities to develop plans that will avoid deficits.
“We weren’t looking to increase taxes, but what we were looking for is providing adequate financial resources to implement each department’s three-to-five-year plan,” Fodor said.
The second goal is to evaluate and improve the city’s roads and sidewalks, as well as its water, electric, stormwater and water pollution control departments.
The plan’s third goal is to create processes to improve city systems. Strategies include offering professional development programs for department heads, starting an ambassador program to connect council members and city stakeholders and evaluating and improving service to residents and businesses.
Finally, the plan calls for improving quality of life by engaging local seniors and evaluating and improving the city’s recreation offerings.
The plan’s mission statement and four key values remain the same as in council’s last plan , which ran from 2018-2022. The document’s mission is “to ensure and improve the quality of life and growth of our community,” while the four key values are listed as respect, resourcefulness, integrity and commitment.
