Background and Analysis:
Olympia has a new Comprehensive Plan with a clear vision for our community's future. The Action Plan will lay out specifically what we, as a community, will do over the next six years to accomplish our newly adopted goals. The Plan will also include community indicators to help us track our progress and share stories of success.
A draft Action Plan has been developed over the past year by City staff with guidance from LUEC. An extensive public involvement process is currently underway to receive community member and potential partner input on the draft. The draft is slated to be delivered to City Council for consideration in August 2015.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
An adopted Action Plan could impact community members city-wide, and so is anticipated to draw interest from a wide variety of neighborhoods and community interests.
Options:
None.
Financial Impact:
Completion of an Action Plan is already included in the Community Planning and Development 2015 work plan.
