1. Discussion: Sanford Strategic Priorities
Whit Blanton of Renaissance Planning handed out copies of the Strategic
Priorities in a rough draft format. He said that all the edits have been incorporated into
the draft and assured the Commission that that there will not be an insert in the final
version. Commissioner Williams pointed out that on the measuring performance page at
the bottom there is an Indicator; however, there is no Project or Initiative to go along with
it. She said that she would feel more comfortable with an Initiative in place and
suggested that it read, 3. "Engage community stakeholders in identifying community
needs ". The consensus among the Commission was to add the Initiative and amend the
motion at tonight's meeting to incorporate that language.
Mayor Triplett said that he is hesitant to make the Imagine Sanford
Steering Committee a formal group but that it would be beneficial to meet every so often
