WITH LYNN MONTEI ASSOCIATES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A VILLAGE
STRATEGIC PLAN
President O’Hara reported in December 2010, following a community-wide engagement of various LakeBluff stakeholders, the Village Board adopted Lake Bluff’s first ever Strategic Plan – an organizationalblue print that has helped define the direction of the Village and assist in how resources have beenallocated over the past five years. The Village President and Village Administrator believe thiscommunity-driven approach has served the Village well and both recommend taking a similar path todevelop a new strategic plan for the next five years. To that end, Village has solicited a proposal fromLynn Montei Associates (LMA) to facilitate an update and refresh to the community vision and design astrategy to achieve it. As you may recall, LMA facilitated the most recent strategic planning effort in late2010 and was very well received by the community and stakeholder participants. The proposed scope ofwork includes but is not limited to the following components:
Engage a guidance team comprised of up to 10 diverse stakeholders for advice, guidance and toenhance stakeholder representation;
Conduct thought-leader interviews;
Host stakeholder workshop for system connection, visioning, data generation, etc.;
Perform analysis and plan development with a resident synthesis team;
Review the preliminary draft plan in Village Board Committee of the Whole meeting;
Host public review of the draft plan at an open-invitation community dialogue session; and
Design a dashboard of key outcomes and measures that will serve as a companion to the strategicplan.
President O’Hara reported Village Staff recommends all elements of the proposal be authorized (exceptfor the staff workshop component) which will result in an anticipated total cost of $22,350. Village Staffbelieves this more robust scope of work (compared to the previous strategic planning facilitationengagement) is appropriate given it will provide (i) the opportunity for greater stakeholder participationand diversity and (ii) community created metrics to monitor plan implementation.
As there were no questions from the Board, Trustee Ankenman moved to adopt the resolution. TrusteeChristensen seconded the motion. The motion passed on the following roll call vote:
Ayes: (6) Ankenman, Christensen, Dewart, Grenier, Josephitis and Meyer
