Council's Strategic Priorities

Town of Oliver – Strategic Plan Summary

Adopted by Council Resolution July 23, 2012


In addition to regular tasks related to the general administration of the Town (e.g. council meetings and minutes, public inquiries, budgeting, bylaw enforcement and general operations) municipal staff focus their efforts to making progress on various matters which council has determined to be corporate priorities. New matters that arise and come before council from time to time may be considered for action if there are sufficient resources available or if the matters are of sufficient importance and urgency to warrant displacement of one or more items already on the priority list.

After confirming the need to continue work to complete items in Table 1, council used a dot placement exercise to help prioritize upcoming corporate priorities. Fifteen projects were identified, as listed in Table 2. These projects will be addressed by staff on a priority basis as time permits, while still working to complete the in-progress projects in Table 1.
