1. MARICOPA COUNTY FY 2010 – FY 2015 STRATEGIC PLAN Adopt the Maricopa County Strategic Plan for FY 2010 to FY 2015. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors’ Countywide Strategic Plan is meant to guide County government actions to address current and future needs in Maricopa County. It will set direction for County government regarding its roles and responsibilities, and Maricopa County government officials will use it to help guide decision-making. The strategic plan is not a detailed operational plan, nor does it contain specific budget recommendations. Instead, it presents a vision for Maricopa County’s future, and, in particular, it outlines County government’s role in achieving that future. The plan was compiled with input and advice from citizens, County department leadership and employees, as well as the other elected officials in Maricopa County. These goals and priorities will provide us with measurements and guidelines that will help us to manage and operate our organization in changing, challenging times. The mission remains the same: to provide the citizens of Maricopa County with the best and most effective services so they can enjoy living in a healthy and safe environment. Upon adoption, the County will convene implementation committees comprising department leadership and staff, whose responsibilities will include: (a) developing key performance measures/indicators to track progress toward achieving the strategic priorities and goals; (b) working with cross-department teams to identify innovative and collaborative strategies to advance progress toward the goals, (c) monitoring the plan’s implementation and progress toward achieving goals; and (d) reporting on progress.

1. AMENDMENTS TO THE MARICOPA COUNTY STRATEGIC PLAN FOR FY 2010 AND FY 2015 Adopt amendments to the Maricopa County Strategic Plan for FY 2010 to FY 2015. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors’ Countywide Strategic Plan is meant to guide county government actions to address current and future needs in Maricopa County. It sets direction for county government regarding its roles and responsibilities, and Maricopa County government officials will use it to help guide decision-making. The strategic plan is not a detailed operational plan, nor does it contain specific budget recommendations. Instead, it presents a vision for Maricopa County’s future, and, in particular, outlines county government’s role in achieving that future. The FY 2010-2015 plan was adopted by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors on June 7, 2010 (C-20-10-079-6-00). The proposed amendments (attached) are in response to comments from Board members at the June 7th meeting, as well as completion of some items that were not fully developed in time for the initial plan adoption. The amendments include completion of the strategic goals regarding childhood obesity, youth development and economic strength, along with interim goals related to the county’s carbon footprint and cost-efficiency of county services in relation to other counties. Further refinement of the last two goals will be presented to the Board at a later date. The original nine strategic priorities have been increased to ten by moving transportation to a priority distinct from economic strength, and goals were moved between priorities. Implementation committees are being formed comprising of department leadership and staff, whose responsibilities will include: (a) developing key performance measures/indicators to track progress toward achieving the strategic priorities and goals; (b) working with cross-department teams to identify innovative and collaborative strategies to advance progress toward the goals, (c) monitoring the plan’s implementation and progress toward achieving goals; and (d) reporting on progress.
