Town officials and staff held a two-day workshop in April to determine a list of priorities and goals for the next 12 to 18 months, and Frisco town manager Nancy Kerry provided council with an update on the project during the meeting on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cUnderstanding council\u2019s vision and goals and aligning them with the work that town staff is doing is absolutely vital to continuing to support the quality of life and values of Frisco residents,\u201d said Kerry. \u201cIt is a privilege to be able to serve with our town staff to bring council\u2019s vision and goals into action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The plan, similar to the community plan, is divided into five strategic priorities including building an inclusive community, a thriving economy, a sustainable environment, vibrant recreation amenities and quality core services. While each section of the plan includes a number of goals, the town notably highlighted four \u201chigh priority\u201d goals in the areas of housing, sustainability, infrastructure and the economy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Perhaps the most notable of the priority goals is the implementation of new housing solutions. The plan calls for the adoption of a five-year (roughly 2020-25) strategic housing plan built around reports and recommendations from the town\u2019s housing task force by August this year. The goal also recommends leveraging the town\u2019s partnership with the Colorado Department of Transportation to develop a new, mutually beneficial housing project, with hopes of adopting a memorandum of understanding with CDOT by July.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The town has already made considerable progress in their sustainability strategy. Their highest priority goal, the adoption of the Summit Climate Action Plan and a <a id=\"N0x2710260N0x2713170:N0x2710260N0x278e338\" href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/local\/frisco-again-commits-to-100-renewable-energy\/\">100% renewable energy plan<\/a>, has already been completed. What remains is the implementation of the action plan. The strategic plan involves a complete energy audit of town facilities, implementing climate action initiatives into next year\u2019s budget and adopting the Summit Sustainable Building Code, all by this December.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The third high priority goal is to identify new revenue streams for the town by analyzing different options, such as expanding recreation and rental options at the Peninsula Recreation Area and at the Frisco Bay Marina \u2014 an ongoing process expected to last through the end of next spring. The goal also calls for a thorough cost of services study by February.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Finally, the last high priority goal outlined in the strategic plan is to strengthen the town\u2019s infrastructure resiliency. The plan requires a complete scope life cycle assessment of all town infrastructure, and the development of a five-to-10 year asset management and replacement plan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThis council is committed to supporting Frisco businesses and residents with this strategic plan, which is intended to enhance the great quality of life and healthy community that we expect in Frisco,\u201d said Mayor Gary Wilkinson. \u201cThe plan sets actionable goals with stated deadlines to ensure that we are all working together as a team with a mutual understanding of where we want to go and what we want to achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The complete 2019\u20132020 Town of Frisco Strategic Plan can be found in the town\u2019s latest town council packet.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/local\/frisco-adopts-new-strategic-plan-for-2019-20-outlines-high-priority-goals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frisco Triangle Park, Frisco, ColoradoTodd Powell The Frisco Town Council unanimously voted to adopt a new strategic plan at its regular meeting Tuesday night, a guiding document that outlines goals and implementation strategies for the council over the next 18 months.
