2022 Department Goals
2022 Department Goals
To begin every year, the PABD staff like to sit down and discuss the goals that had guided the previous year and begin to develop new goals for the coming year. These goals are intended to go beyond the day-to-day tasks of the department and have a broader positive impact on the city as a whole. These goals are also an attempt to continually review our own processes so that we are providing the best and most efficient experience to any individual that interacts with our office.
After much time and consideration, the Planning and Building Department staff has developed the following goals for the 2022 calendar year:
1.
