City of Fruita Strategic Plan

Overview

The purpose of the City of Fruita Strategic Plan is to outline City Council priorities staff will work to achieve over the next 2-4 years in addition to core service delivery. The plan’s priorities are aligned with the City’s values including the City’s long-term planning documents beginning with the City’s 10-year comprehensive plan Fruita in Motion, subsequent master plans, and community survey results conducted every four years. Years and deadlines are subject to change based on capacity, resources, or opportunities.

The Strategic Plan is updated every two years following the Municipal election occurring in April of even years. After reviewing the City’s values, community survey results, progress of goals in the comprehensive and master plans, and current and future community needs, City Council determines what short-term priorities and/or projects will help to achieve these long-term planning efforts.

The Strategic Plan serves as a guide for City Council and staff in the creation of the Annual City Budget adopted every December for the following calendar year. The Annual Budget prioritizes operational action items by service delivery area and capital projects. Specific operational goals and performance measures are identified in the budget per each service area.

The Strategic Plan also serves as a tool to track the progress of each project and priority. City staff will update the Strategic Plan each quarter with progress notes for each goal. Thank you for reviewing the City of Fruita’s Strategic Plan! We are excited to see these priorities come into fruition to move Fruita forward.
