III DELEGATIONS
(a) Mr. Joe Pittari, DPRA
Re: Review of the Town of Aurora Strategic Plan
Mr. Pittari provided the committee with an overview of the process by which the
Town of Aurora’s Strategic Plan was developed. Mr. Pittari advised the
Committee that the goals and objectives of the plan are very broad statements
and the details of implementation of the action steps are defined in the annual
business plans of the organization. Mr. Pittari further advised that the plan is a
“living document” which continually evolves during the annual review of the plan.
Discussion took place regarding how the new Council could provide its input into
the plan and update it as deemed necessary. Mr. Pittari advised, in his
experience, that the best practice is to conduct a complete review of the plan
every 5 – 10 years.
General Committee recommends:
THAT the comments of the delegate be received for information.
