Summary:
In March 2018 the City Council participated in a Futures Lab workshop and established the foundation for the Olathe 2040 Future Ready Strategic Plan. That foundation included five focus areas: Future Ready, Economy, Exceptional Services, Infrastructure and Quality of Life. A comprehensive public engagement process gathered 3202 ideas for Olathe’s future from residents, the business community, and stakeholder groups. The Strategic Planning Advisory Committee considered those ideas along with local, regional, and global trends to establish the Vision Framework and developed a vision for each focus area. The Framework was reviewed with the City Council on November 6, 2018. Since then, over 70 City staff members have contributed to creating goals, strategies, measures and milestones that support the vision and make the new community-focused plan ready for implementation. The purpose of the discussion is to review the goals and strategies and provide comments.
