Title
Continuation of Discussion of Action Items for the Strategic Plan
Summary:
Last October, the Commission accepted Belleair’s first strategic plan from the Florida Institute of Government. This plan culminated from a year of hard work by residents, employees, and elected officials, and we are excited to hit the ground running with it soon.
Staff has engaged each of the advisory boards to create action items for each of the objectives.

Body
Previous Commission Action: The Commission has been working closely with the creation of Belleair’s strategic plan since the fall of 2018, and is planning to have all action items added and polished by April of 2020.
Background/Problem Discussion: At the previous meeting in November, board members identified the following goals and objectives:
• Park signage to parks; create a map of parks for residents; park improvements and processes
• Plantings in right-of-ways
• Trimming of trees - Duke Energy foliage management
• Color layer mapping of historic monuments; plan for maintenance and refurbishment with inspections
• Lot sizes for single family homes
• Traffic calming
• Fencing and compliance
• Ad hoc committees for community involvement
• Limiting additional multi-family zoning
• Evaluation of intersections for vision triangles
• Communicating with residents - alternatives to Town website - possible ad hoc committee
Attached to this item is a sheet that places these items under specific goals and objectives. As the committee continues to identify action items, these will be added to the sheet. Each action item should be SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timely). There can be, and probably should be, multiple action items for each objective, and staff is available to you to help write these and answer any questions the board may have.
At this time, there are two previously identified action items (color layer mapping of historic monuments and ad hoc committees) that have not been placed in an Objective/Goal category. The board has the choice to place create new objectives, or further specify the previous items to fall within one of the existing categories. There are five attachments for this item to help the board complete this task:
1. “Strategic Plan Themes, Goals & Objectives” - outlines all of the items in the plan.
2. “Executive Summary” - displays the key takeaways from the project.
3. “Original Planning & Zoning Board Items” - summarizes the objectives that the Planning & Zoning Board will have specific and expert input on.
4. “Updated Planning & Zoning Board Items” - the updated form that contains additional items listed by the board in the prior meeting.
5. “2020 Map of Belleair Parks” - this map contains highlighted portions to show where in Belleair the parks are.
