Update trail

CompleteSource checkMay 2026

Council adopted the 2026-2030 Strategic Plan

The strategic plan was officially adopted by the City Council following presentations by Deputy City Manager Kayla Barber and Ashley Sonoff (Strategy Associate with SSW Consulting). ARP is treating implementation records as the next accountability trail.

Budget alignment begins with the 2027-2029 biennial budget cycle.

WatchSource checkSummer 2026

City strategic plan website and dashboard promised for summer 2026

The implementation section says the Strategic Plan website and dashboard go live in summer 2026. ARP will track whether it publishes source data, owners, deadlines, budget ties, and update history.

No public budget crosswalk has been produced yet.

WatchQuarterly strategyFY 2026-2027

Quarterly strategy and financial updates are now a standing watch item

The plan says every year includes quarterly strategy and financial updates, annual reports on accomplishments, and annual department updates.

Quarterly financial updates should show funded versus unfunded objective work.
