SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND:
The Salem Strategic Plan, adopted by City Council on October 23, 2017, articulates the mission, vision, values and goals of the City to more effectively serve its people. The Strategic Plan charts a three to five year course for the City and represents the culmination of extensive community input on issues, followed by discussion and vetting by issue work groups of actions that would advance the policy issue.
FACTS AND FINDINGS:
To assist City Council, for those actions underway or still in progress, status reports have been prepared for the Homeless Rental Assistance Program (Attachment 1), the Transit Committee (Attachment 2), and on City asset management (Attachment 3). In addition, in response to a September 2017 Council request for more information, the packet includes a discussion on what it means to be a Child Friendly City, as defined by UNICEF, (Attachment 4).
