Introduction <br />The City of Casselberry's Strategic Plan is a dynamic plan that changes and adapts to reflect the needs <br />and desires of the community. The goals and objectives represent the outcome of discussions by the <br />City Commission for the City's Strategic Plan. The Commissioners will continue to review these goals <br />and objectives as they strive to promote Casselberry as a highly desired place to live, raise a family, and <br />do business. From the results of the discussions, the City Commission formulated those desired <br />outcomes into both global and specific goals: Planning, Financial, Infrastructure, Recreation and Open <br />Space, Transportation, and Public Safety. <br />The City of Casselberry's Five Year Goals are guided by its Mission and Vision Statement, which are <br />founded on the basic values that guide all of its actions and reflect what is expected from City employees <br />and elected officials. The goals are comprehensive and formulated to support the long-term vision of <br />Casselberry. They are expressed through a series of specific objectives. <br />The strategic plan helps identify where Commissioners want the City to be at some point in the future <br />and defines how it is going to get there. By setting objectives to achieve those goals, a roadmap is <br />created to provide the employees with a unified approach to achieve the Mission and Vision Statement. <br />Strategic planning also assists the City Commissioners in allocating resources to pursue the goals and <br />objectives. These resources include operating funds, capital assets and human resources. While each <br />of the various components of a strategic plan is essential to its success, proper resource allocation is an <br />important element to effectively achieve the vision of the City Commission. <br />Much progress has been made in the last several years in achieving the five-year goals. Millage rates <br />have been maintained while continuing to provide the same efficient, effective services to the citizens <br />and businesses of Casselberry. The City continues to be a safe, family friendly community through <br />effective public safety services. Recreational and transportation opportunities have increased through <br />construction of multi-purpose trails and the use of sharrows (road markings) to identify bike routes <br />throughout the City. Water quality improvements have been achieved through pipe replacement <br />programs. Sewer and stormwater pipe improvements have been made through pipe lining, which <br />extends the life of the pipe and fortifies it. The City continues to define itself as an arts community. <br />Many cultural events are held free of charge to the community both in the City parks and at the City Art <br />House. Significant progress has been made in the road rehabilitation and tree planting programs, <br />revitalizing the community one street at a time. The City sustains a consistent workforce through <br />providing competitive wages to highly qualified employees. A consistent work force is also achieved <br />through a supportive work environment, which in turn creates high employee morale. Progress <br />continues toward the five-year strategic plan, and staff makes steps toward the strategic goals by <br />working closely together to implement the short-term goals and objectives of the City Commission. <br />4 <br />
