The Project consists of the following:

The City of Smithville is seeking a consultant who can lead the community through a process to update the City’s Strategic Plan.  Success in this process will be achieved by a consultant who can best deliver a product that is a reflection of the Smithville community and not preconceived notions of what a consultant or a community has done elsewhere.  Key outcomes of this process should include:

• - Consensus on a community-wide vision that is inspiring, forward thinking and reflective of the desired future of the Smithville community.
  • The process should include the views of community members and city staff from a diverse set of interests, backgrounds, viewpoints.
  • Participation in the process should cultivate new participants in the civic process in Smithville.
• - An re-evaluation of community strengths and opportunities and areas of need.
• - Development of a strategic plan that outlines the steps to be taken, by whom, on what timeline and at what cost.
• - Inclusion of staff participation.
• - Community-wide ownership of both the vision and the action plan.
