On June 18, 2024, City Council adopted the Strategic Plan update for Fiscal Year 2022-2026. The Strategic Plan establishes the City's vision, mission, values, and goals and undergoes an annual review to monitor progress and adapt to evolving community needs.

Many of those community needs are informed by the feedback provided in the City's annual community survey. Some of the information from that survey that are incorporated into the updated strategic plan are:

• Community planning and land use to encourage growth while preserving the City's small-town charm
• Providing quality infrastructure, such as parking and capital improvement projects
• Comprehensively addressing the unsheltered homeless population
• Business attraction and support
