Strategic Priorities

The City Commission has identified seven priorities that they believe reflect the key issues in the community. These priorities are intended to provide strategic direction for City staff. The priorities and their mission statements:

Customer-Involved Government
  Develop innovative ways to make participation in local government activities
  possible for all residents and foster a sense of engagement among the citizenry
  by effectively communicating a common identity, actively seeking insight into the
  needs of the community, aligning City services with customer expectations, and
  continuing to strive for excellence.

Financial Health & Economic Development
  Continue to enhance the high level of service quality and fi nancial stability that
  the City has become known for by encouraging redevelopment, diversifying tax
  and revenue sources, ensuring the long-term viability of fi nancial strategies, and
  implementing “new urbanism” techniques.

Excellence in Education
  Maintain effective partnerships with the Broward County School Board and individual
  local public and private schools within Coral Springs to address overcrowding,
  promote safety, increase parental participation, elevate student achievement, and
  expand educational opportunities.

Neighborhood & Environmental Vitality
  Provide support to neighborhood groups and individual homeowners and business
  owners in maintaining and improving property values, aesthetics and safety
  throughout the City. Lead by example in the stewardship of natural resources
  by preserving existing Environmentally Sensitive Land sites, promoting the
  replenishment of the City’s tree canopy, encouraging native landscaping, and
  planning for the conservation of resources.

Youth Development and Community Values
  Promote and increase opportunities for youth to become engaged in the world,
  while providing support in addressing the profusion of issues facing them. Empower
  families to create strong ties, pass on values and traditions, strive for economic
  security, increase health and safety, and join in creating a shared community vision.

Strength in Diversity
  Capitalize on the strength of diversity in our community through ongoing dialogue
  and gathering together to communicate, understand, and celebrate our differences
  and similarities.

Traffic, Mobility & Connectivity
  Promote best practices and effective technology to improve safe mobility and
  encourage convenient and accessible modes of transportation.
