The Strategic Actions build on Council's key achievements from the past 10 years and advance Council's vision, mission and goals as laid out in Council's 2002 Strategic Plan. Background Council’s Strategic Plan In 2002, Toronto City Council approved its Strategic Plan, Council's leadership document for the City of Toronto. The Strategic Plan sets out a vision and mission for the City, 20 goals for quality of life across five broad themes of city building, economic vitality, environmental sustainability, social development and good governance; and established 19 directions to guide City programs, services and initiatives. In addition, fiscal principles were approved with the adoption of the Long Term Fiscal Plan (2005) to guide service planning, budgeting and to respond to the City’s ongoing financial pressures. Council’s Strategic Plan advances a long-term vision for Toronto as a dynamic, caring, friendly and sustainable city; and the City has made major strides in achieving most of the 19 directions from 2002, setting a foundation for the new city. These achievements include: • the adoption of the amalgamated City's first Official Plan in 2006; • the implementation of economic growth and culture plans; • targeted neighbourhood investment and revitalization; • new programs and policies that support environmental sustainability; • an updated Council decision-making structure to reflect the new powers from the City of Toronto Act (2006); • the establishment of four Accountability Officers; and TRANSITION TO 2014-2018 TERM PAGE 1 COUNCIL BRIEFING VOL.2 1.1 • an enhanced fiscal position for the City with a focus on capital and long term planning. Strategic Actions 2013 to 2018 In 2012, the City Manager led the development of new Strategic Actions to replace the original 19 directions set in 2002 that were completed. The 26 Strategic Actions for 2013 to 2018, affirmed by City Council at its meeting on October 8, 9, 10 and 11, 2013 reflect how the City will advance Council's vision, mission and goals for the next five years. The Strategic Actions guide the City's service planning, multi-year budgeting, and performance planning processes and complement current initiatives and Council priorities. Twelve of the Strategic Actions focus primarily on goals related to City Building, Economic Vitality, Environmental Sustainability and Social Development. Fourteen of the Strategic Actions focus on the goals related to Good Governance and Fiscal Sustainability to ensure the continued capacity of the City to serve Council and the public now and into the future. Implications Many Strategic Actions include policies or plans approved by City Council that are currently being implemented while others are anticipated to come forward for Council approval in 2015 and future years. The City Manager, Deputy City Managers, City Clerk and City Solicitor oversee the implementation of the Strategic Actions. Progress reports will be published to provide an overall summary of the implementation of the Strategic Actions measured against indicators. Current Status and Next Steps While the Strategic Actions for 2013 to 2018 continue to address the goals set out in Council's Strategic Plan, the City has grown and changed significantly over the last decade. Strategic plans typically have a ten to fifteen year time horizon and the time horizon for Council’s 2002 Strategic Plan is coming to an end. City Council requested the City Manager to bring forward a process in 2015 to update Council’s 2002 Strategic Plan including public and stakeholder consultation. The review of the overall Strategic Plan will enable the City to TRANSITION TO 2014-2018 TERM PAGE 2 COUNCIL BRIEFING VOL.2 1.1 develop Strategic Actions beyond 2018 that reflect an updated vision, mission and goals for Toronto.
