16:59:59 From Strategic Plan to Judge Mindy Walker (she/her)(Direct Message) : I'll be on the lookout for you
17:03:05 From Apple Martine to Strategic Plan(Direct Message) : Carolyn - I have to leave the meeting and drive home to do mom duties. I'll log back in then, and mute the teenagers
in the background. ð
17:03:23 From Strategic Plan to Apple Martine(Direct Message) : Thank you, I'll be on the lookout for your return
18:30:12 From Apple Martine to Hosts and panelists : For the folks online during this portion, could you center the discussion on the screen rather than the presentation slide?
19:57:08 From Stacie Prada to Hosts and panelists : Just a reminder that other elected officials are colleagues, not staff.
16:22:56 Okay. Creation, we'll go back to the mission statement and say, yeah, there are each change based on what we think is sort of our vision for the future.
16:22:56 We'll go through your core. The terms can be interchangeable core values that in principles will call them for values because that's what we've already made them.
16:23:06 But what we want to do with those, see a real opportunity there to actually kind of define a little bit more, So when you when staff are carrying out their activities.
16:23:18 They can relate back to that value. Yep, we're meeting the voice expectations. And the community's expectations.
16:23:30 I'm gonna spend a little bit of time working on those values to develop that a little bit further.
16:23:31 And then, from the, from the visioning work that you're going to be doing tonight, we'll be able to identify and those are going to be small.
16:23:40 Focus areas that you are going to focus on the next 5 years or so. And then, we will do a brainstorming to say, okay, those are priorities.
16:23:53 Then what do we want? Under each of those libraries. And then we get all of that raw material coming from you.
16:24:05 And that'll get us an optional Friday and really start layering on the, So that's the work tonight.
16:24:11 Anybody have questions? Commissioners have questions. Okay. I do.
16:24:19 I see. so how, we got to the decision to do. Tonight, was that push your input and then Friday into the larger through, just because we still have and work collaboratively.
16:24:31 So like I know that anything we're talking about tonight, I'm gonna want in front of all of you.
16:24:36 Yep. And I assume they're here. And I assume they're here. I'll provide that. Okay, right.
16:24:43 They're, won't, may, role, so we want to get you as commissioners the opportunity to.
16:24:44 Really way out before things and they're here to listen to all of that. You have questions of them or they have.
16:24:51 Something that they think would be helpful for you to know they can shine in. Everything, all the work that you do, they'll take and the level of detail, but it's going to take
to make the plan national and all of it comes back to you.
16:25:04 And so you don't have the opportunity to. See their work and how it how they build. And so it's just, it's nice to be able to have you as mission.
16:25:19 Rainstorm and not have any parameters. Okay, that's the reason for that. Okay. The process is still collaborative.
16:25:27 And when we come back and present the plan to you. Their maybe members of the leadership team that will always present product, the drop, but it will be the end of the platform,
not anywhere.
16:25:39 Complete. That makes sense. Yeah, I'll trust the process. Alright, so This is just.
16:25:52 Respect will be respectful of everyone in the room. I think that's where I think that we've learned from this group that people are very respectful of one another.
16:26:03 We don't have a lot of, the business here, which we do in some places that we work.
16:26:07 Alright, just, where we are in the planning process. So we sent a lot of Good time figuring out out out Zoom, on role in this project.
16:26:18 So really, I think set up a good process and then he's sent. Discovery work and now we're going to.
16:26:27 Part of this. Where we're actually beginning the development of the plan. We'll do the documentation of all of the, and then, and then, and then, and, and, and what that means
is it comes back to you for adoption at some point.
16:26:46 And then we're gonna help the county with the. As you know, Alright, So what is the strategic plan?
16:27:06 I really want to be clear for everybody in the room that the strategic plan plays out for what not the implementation ever is really.
16:27:15 It's about a long term vision. It's also about having some things that you're going to measure to evaluate your progress in implementing the plan.
16:27:27 So it's what we're going to focus on. They should be on any document. It should be driving your decision.
16:27:38 If you, if you're doing this or community plan and you can check about. Box exercise.
16:27:43 So we also would like to offer that it could be a powerful tool for transparency and accountability so that and you have created this plan.
16:27:52 And you've communicated it's the public they can look at that and say, wow, now, we're focused on a lot and the benefits that the community is like.
16:28:14 This is the typical best practice process that we have found wants to be very effective in developing. Getting the door that first opportunity really lay out high-level and
then start to build the more, more specific actionable objectives and the performance session,able objectives and the performance sessions in terms of how progress will be measured.
16:28:45 So the first thing we're going to present to you is environmental span. Why does it matter?
16:28:49 We want everybody to start from the same. You want to have a common understanding of where we are, where are you, what are some of the trends that you're going to be facing?
16:28:59 What do members of the community say about you as an organization? What do members of the community say about you as an organization and what did they say about you as an organization
and what did they say about you as an organization and what did they say about future they want for and really putting that all together, and then present it out so that you have information
16:29:18 that will help you. To think about. And possibly moving some of the obstacles that might be in the way of being able to achieve the
16:29:36 So our approach to the environmental Sam, we have lots of conversations with people. We had, that was an opportunity for people to go online and take a survey and host ideas.
16:29:55 We did an employee survey and you'll see some of the data from that. We've conducted some focus for the employees, the native those in person.
16:30:05 Then we reviewed other county documents and really any information in our hands on that help us put together a picture of a currency.
16:30:15 So, like to open with a conversation about the words that best describe Jefferson County. So, Actually, I'm gonna give you a And if it's possible, this is their room, set it
up in that corner.
16:30:32 That we can make work. We do that and the monitors.
16:30:42 So start thinking, You think that's, of this place. Okay.
16:30:55 A.
16:31:11 Well, does this table? Little crooked. No.
16:31:22 So.
16:31:27 Okay, Yes, Yeah.
16:31:36 Let me know. There we go. Alright. We'll be.
16:31:49 Make your mother. This Yeah, Good night. I'm sure some words. So what do you think of when you think of He's describe this place to someone who hasn't been here.
16:32:26 Yeah, I'm writing a list over here. Communities. Big words, man. Hmm.
16:32:46 I'm in Sanskrit, so wild. Wild? Green.
16:33:01 Right. That's gonna take a look. Collaboration. Collaboration.
16:33:13 Okay. And then resource.
16:33:27 There's some other words. So little load is like old, precious. This is great ways.
16:33:46 Natural. Well, Small and bad. Natural world. Small but best.
16:34:03 Okay. There's a caller on the line ending in 5 2 4 if you're an elected official or department director could you hit star 9 to raise your hand?
16:34:22 Okay, Hmm.
16:34:34 And. This stuff to change.
16:34:44 Hmm.
16:34:54 Okay. Okay. Divided or
16:35:13 Ask the Meredith.
16:35:21 Yeah.
16:35:26 Mountains.
16:35:34 Okay. Free of use. Yeah.
16:35:45 Beauty.
16:35:52 What do people feel like when they're here?
16:35:55 Inspire. INFIRE, you know, baseball. Hmm. This stuff.
16:36:07 I got a lot of phone calls. How about recalcitrant?
16:36:20 I don't know. Yeah, so.
16:36:27 Okay.
16:36:32 Okay.
16:36:43 Interesting.
16:36:47 For a stream.
16:36:58 Alright, I think we got a good list. Renee, if you want to put that off, I'll put it over here in the wall and we'll refer back to it.
16:37:03 So when we ask the community.
16:37:07 The biggest words I Let me ask this question. Thank you so much, That's a different question.
16:37:16 That's on your mind. We just, we just put it in our title on the slide. We asked the same question, what comes to mind?
16:37:25 So, Right, this is you. Oh, yeah, this is you. It's great. That transitional so left out.
16:37:40 And I'm gonna stand with those like. . I'm better when I'm Yeah.
16:37:51 I think back to the things that Michel said. My background is in. And working in primarily an organization.
16:37:59 And so. You know, planning a big deal back in room. It was nice and.
16:38:06 Continue to be a big deal because it's such a humongous failure. So. When I talk about planning.
16:38:15 I like to talk about. Wiring plan. And My favorite line. The.
16:38:25 I went to the words because I wish to learn how to do deliberately. That's what planning is.
16:38:33 It's learning. It's setting a deliberation for how you're going to proceed. And the other favorite quote that I have is, from, And he said, he wrote a book called Where do you
go?
16:38:46 There you are. And that's what this is about. We've been around, this is where we are.
16:38:52 This is the infrared. We just wanna start from the same place and unless we all agree with the same places, We can't build in a united direction.
16:39:03 So, we ask people in person on social pinpoint, everybody we talk to, Manny, our genius, people in person, on social pinpoint.
16:39:17 Everybody we talk to, Manny, our genius working with computer and, Put it all together and graphic.
16:39:20 So the number one thing people talk about was house. As it gets smaller, over and over and over again, but not to the same extent.
16:39:30 So housing, people, portability. Business support, a lot of things on people's minds. So this is just an overview.
16:39:41 This is also pretty. Good and show. Yeah. Alright, so.
16:39:50 I can't see this. Walk around. This just talks about how you population is wrong. I'm sure you've all had chance to see this.
16:40:05 It also talks about household incomes that you have. Medium home value. Now, 3 62 3.
16:40:12 That's not the same as the sales price. So I went on Zeller. The median sales price for home in Jackson County is about $565,400.
16:40:25 In King County or the rest of Washington. It's about 569,000 some change.
16:40:31 So you're right up there. With the entire state of Washington in terms of what homes are settling for these days.
16:40:37 You're high in high school graduations. Residents like an inquiry and of those 2 point, 21.6.
16:40:46 Percent of children in this county live in poverty. So Michelle and I have some, today to find out what poverty means.
16:40:54 And basically, if you're making less than $3,000, your family's in That's nothing, right?
16:41:03 Yeah. And those are 2023 numbers. Yeah. So this is kind of, you know, if, these numbers mean anything to you.
16:41:18 We might want to later come back and say we need to strategy for how was on the address.
16:41:25 4,000 for, you know, income. And I would pay out with the, for the entire state.
16:41:36 It's more than 20,000 more than that. It's empowering. You have lower income. You have very high.
16:41:42 You know, the data there's about.
16:41:46 So next is your overall demographic. Racial diversity. This I think what we were looking at earlier for the state of Washington.
16:41:57 You're less diverse in the state at large. We heard a lot in our conversations with people about their desire to have more diversity within, Jackson County.
16:42:10 Age ethnicity everything top to bottom so whether or not this is gonna be one of your strategic goals to make any changes in that, will be up too.
16:42:20 H. Yes, yes. The 39% of the people are over 65 in state generally.
16:42:40 So this is much more attractive to people who are maybe looking to retire. But it is much harder.
16:42:50 And this number down here, those 20 or 18 and younger. If you look around your community, this is probably not surprising data to you.
16:43:08 Alright, this is just workforce. Okay, anybody have any comments on this in terms of what was it surprising to you to see which economic areas have We check on a larger.
16:43:22 Is this a surprise to you? It was surprising to me not to see things like forestry involved here.
16:43:35 . But this is health care services, buildings and grounds, maintenance and Yeah. Health care is increasing. This is in finance and architecture.
16:43:50 Okay. And this should have a little line. I don't, but your natural resources is only 12% of this pie which We use it.
16:44:02 You would think it would be more than that, but you can see it's smaller than several other. Well, it looks like the house has construction and maintenance with it and Instructions
probably the biggest part of that.
16:44:13 Probably, yeah.
16:44:18 So any questions about this, any comments? Alright. I'm employment. So we can see the effect of the pandemic here very clearly.
16:44:29 And then the end of the pandemic, but things have been creeping up since then.
16:44:37 So next.
16:44:44 Yeah. Talk about the median income being 57 still lower than the state of the whole.
16:44:56 Multiple incomes. Because people they're retired with incomes that pushing it. When you're talking about that most impacted group, then it really, really, and think about those
numbers, it should not come.
16:45:23 A much higher percentage of kids in poverty here than in other places in the state. And think about labor rather than So quality of life, housing, We've heard a lot from people
about the availability of housing.
16:45:44 And whether or not this, you know, nearly 20,000 housing units sufficient.
16:45:56 Is up for grass. I'll just leave it at that. We're meeting gross rent over $1,000.
16:46:01 Again, if someone's making 30, $35,000 a year. How do you pay your ramps?
16:46:09 That comes pretty close to or more than third of your income right there just in rent. It's considered to be a cost per.
16:46:22 You're spending more than 30% of your total in on. That would be an interesting statistic to try to find.
16:46:29 Be interested in that. That would 79 million. How many of those are society units that don't have?
16:46:37 You know, and if you look at this, you know, if, if you look at this, you know, if, one, mortgage, this, you know, if, one, mortgage, is, $1,600.
16:46:53 But again, that is completely outside the reach of. You don't have that step back to the When I keep going and I'll look at that and come back to it.
16:47:05 Okay, alright, cause I can, so let me do that. So, employer, over a thousand, for you guys have any idea of who the major employers in the state are.
16:47:20 That's the Sydney County School. Yeah. Sports, every, all of that. So.
16:47:32 So as much as you run the county, you will also help support the county by providing wages to the people who work for the government.
16:47:42 And labor forces, 42.8%. And this was one that surprised me because I heard a lot about broadband that there was a need for more broadband, especially in the rural areas.
16:47:52 But this is, 87.7% broadband access throughout account. So. Even though I heard a lot from folks who maybe have exclusive.
16:48:02 Contact with rural areas, that's where it was coming from. Where did that? Where did that come from?
16:48:15 Yeah.
16:48:19 So, for the state as a whole is 1439. And. The median mortgage is 2,054.
16:48:36 So you're lower here. Yeah, overall. Yeah. In.
16:48:51 Alright, so we wanna go, are we ready to go to the next slide? Okay, we're good.
16:48:57 This is just a fun one. You're number 5 for best county scrap directivities in America.
16:49:08 Your third for best counties for retirees in Washington, you know, do the first. Sounding over in the far side. So can't swell a while over next to Idaho.
16:49:25 Yeah. And, and ninth healthiest out of 36 And I think this actually something to be your crowd with the resources that are available here and I'm sure that video, the pressure
on help.
16:49:49 Is, impressive. Okay, county perspectives.
16:49:54 Stakeholder input. This is what we did. We can buy all of the stakeholder input from the survey responses that we got on.
16:50:03 Social media. To the individual interviews that we held and we, compiled. From the themes that were identified by the elected officials.
16:50:13 And. All of these specific ideas for improvements were captured for consideration. So I don't need to read this to you.
16:50:20 That's what Michelle was talking about earlier. All of the different ways that we. Compile information in order to establish what things look like in in this, county right now.
16:50:33 That's a pinpoint.
16:50:39 There's a lot of engagement here. So over 4,000 total visits. Over 1,500 unique users.
16:50:47 Average time they were on the social pinpoint was over a minute. And you need stakeholders. That means the people who actually engage, wrote something down, offered a comment.
16:50:59 And it's 1,101, 11111, And.
16:51:09 Many used all those comments. We'll see some of the responses that we get later. What the scale of our stakeholder outreach was.
16:51:23 I mean, we had a list of oh yeah, more 500 people that we sent. So we worked really hard to build this exhaustive, on the list, to.
16:51:38 So we've worked really hard to build this exhaustive, of the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the emails that we, to collect.
16:51:39 Yeah. Lots of individual surveys that went out to people who responded. By email or otherwise. To us.
16:51:48 We had in person how many of those i think we had close to like most more than 50 i think individual interviews we had the employee 2 different groups of employees that we interviewed
Yes, all 3 commissioners and stakeholders in the community, right?
16:52:12 What I would like to say about this social pinpoint data is that you think maybe 200 people who actually did something on the site is small number.
16:52:23 It's not a small number. I'm getting input, but it's an important one because there are some people who've never participated in the company.
16:52:37 And so this is another tool. And these are actually really good numbers for, counting your size.
16:52:43 We have much larger countries that have lots and lots of resources to promote this. I have entire, 12 person communication shops that are pushing this out there that get results
that are.
16:53:02 So the idea that strategic planning is you're not going for numbers, right? You're going for Jifferent modalities to gather the, and you can offer it like, you know, the, and
you can offer it.
16:53:13 It's like, you know, the peripheral, base, you can, we give the opportunity and then people have to engage.
16:53:17 And so the bottom line is you're trying to, you're trying to offer lots of different modalities and then we are looking for.
16:53:25 Things that start to merge and the themes emerged early in the process and it's almost always the case in strategic planning that you start to notice that Now, less than a third
of the way through the community and stakeholder engagement process.
16:53:42 It's exciting. You saw that big thing housing. I mean that when we're talking about it. Yeah.
16:53:51 I mean, that when we are, we're talking about conversation. So this is what I'm hearing.
16:53:56 Is housing. How's your health? In this. In a similar way.
16:53:58 Number one everywhere right now. At the cost of housing is I don't know. For the past 3 years and especially since the market just went crazy crazy, crazy during the pandemic.
I don't know.
16:54:21 But yes, it's a huge issue. And community to this. Although we think you're a huge amount of that here, stakeholder, and so forth.
16:54:33 It was mentioned and it was, especially among the employees, I will say that's something that they recognize they feel they have to deal with.
16:54:39 So, yeah, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, of the things, we can talk more about how you compare to some other, areas of the country that, work again.
16:54:49 So these are just some of the comments directly from social pinpoint. You guys have a chance to read these.
16:54:57 It's like the call can't read in here. There mainly, trails, nature, keeping things wild having that nexus with the wildness.
16:55:06 What we have here in Jackson County. I like the ones that Maddie selected because I think they are so in life.
16:55:20 If you're interested, we can pull down all one everyone. And this is just, that's mattering, but he selected the ones that just online as we talked about.
16:55:30 We started hearing. Through process. Yes. One more.
16:55:37 I think that's it. Okay. So again. This comes from all of the different areas.
16:55:55 All of the different, areas that we have. And again, interesting depending on, you know, who you ask and what, what their concerns are.
16:56:03 Transportation being the number one. Can you be surprised me? It's, my personal interviews and so forth.
16:56:12 I didn't hear anybody. Personal interviews and so forth. I didn't hear anybody.
16:56:16 I think that one person, transportation, only that they would like to see more options for people in rural areas to have means of getting to.
16:56:25 Not just for, but to areas where retail services are available that we need. So what I will say, this did not surprise me to see it in the top 3 because almost any time we conduct
a survey for account government not a city government county government.
16:56:49 Looking ahead to the future, transportation is almost always in the top 2 or 3. And I think people tend to know that county has responsibility for, for that type of infrastructure.
16:57:00 So, public safety is usually in the top 4. And you can help us usually in the top 4 and then the other one is typically the environment.
16:57:12 So those are you go anywhere in the country and you'll find those 4. So think we have a very top of this in different order.
16:57:17 But reading the comments. There are a number of people who were. Equating city streets. With the county here, I wonder if he backs out people who are seeking that.
16:57:31 City students for county responsibility if that would be different. It could be and it goes back to something I've heard Hyde say a long time ago that she was interested.
16:57:42 I think this is the word when you went out and talked to people around the county. That you were subscribed if they didn't know what the county did.
16:57:52 Or what the limitations of county services might be. And so it may be that in future best of things that we can kind of remember so that we can get a more specific idea of what
transportation issues they're talking about.
16:58:06 Not just potholes, but it's actually, Getting from one place to another.
16:58:11 I'm not saying. And this could also be, I think that's also sway that. Yeah, so.
16:58:48 So before we go any further, like people to, there are food and snacks in the back back that people were very kind to bring and it's perfectly open.
16:58:53 To, there are food and snacks in the back back that people were very kind to bring and it's perfectly okay. Okay, community priority.
16:59:17 You need to suspect this. What are some of the things that Jefferson County does well. I heard this over and over again public safety, the top as well.
16:59:25 Everybody was very happy and content with the phone services that we see. And this isn't too far downloaded.
16:59:34 It's, they understand it. So we'll get next to. Yeah.
16:59:41 Any, conversation about that when I want to skip over. Also, was surprising because there are a number of comments about, I'm surprised how many people mentioned like.
16:59:50 Crime, Okay, so it's surprised me that this many people said, do it well, whatever people who are very clearly concerned about.
17:00:03 . And might be interesting to those kinds of situations always to find out what their demographic is too. I'll say once again is that public safety calls in the top 3 is almost
any way you ask the question anyway.
17:00:28 So it's important to people. Everybody wants to feel confident they're living in a safe community.
17:00:31 Thank you in some cases they don't think their local government does it well but in a lot of cases they think the government is doing a And the third hand, they want it to be
even better.
17:00:43 So it's like, it's all free.
17:00:48 Yeah, So, Alright. What are some things Jessica County could be better? I'm sorry, at the very top.
17:01:13 Community development, the. Dealing with the. Growth Management Act, specifically, about that.
17:01:20 And They will never stop complaining. I don't know. They think, you know, practice access or lower that will solve all the problems in the world, right?
17:01:57 And Telson will be available and. So. Wow, that is a major concern. There may be a disconnect between what they understand the county can do to impact that.
17:02:15 So other thoughts or questions on this one? Right, correct. Anybody hungry? I just wanna make sure people eating.
17:02:23 Concerned about. There was plenty to go around. No leftover time. Employee priorities.
17:02:33 This again, specifically from the employees. What they what do they think should be prioritized in the next treatment plan my guess is that there were a lot of shareholders
who said this.
17:02:48 Public safety is number one. Effective government, criminal justice, emergency management. So a very different perspective internally than we see from the next term.
17:03:02 In place know what the county functions are, right? They understand that. The second one is. Accessible effective.
17:03:16 The and effective government. Second, the last one. Thanks. I think we have a, we need to find out, from which it's accurate.
17:03:33 Maybe it's a different, find out, from, which is accurate. Maybe it's a different, it's a different, because my best is from my experience talking to employees, they feel like
they're working really hard to deliver that. I think it's, like they're working really hard to deliver that.
17:03:44 I think it's, getting something back. Nest up on the chart. I'm gonna, but it could come out they're working really hard to deliver that. I think it's, something got messed
up on the chart.
17:03:50 I'm how hard they're working, they talk about the need for additional staff to help them, to effective and serve the customers.
17:03:58 And I don't think that might be great with me. Wages. Well, in my mind, that tied back to a lot of the cost of living comments.
17:04:15 It's not fundamentally the wage. I mean, it is. But it's the cost of living.
17:04:22 Yeah.
17:04:33 I said, the message. 2Â min after 5, so hopefully we get her back from her. Alright, Employee perspectives, under the next one.
17:04:41 Yeah. Okay. What are the things Jefferson County does well? Public health, safety.
17:04:50 You're up to number 3, month. Okay. And so, and again, when I talk with employees, I will let you know, and again, when I talk with employees, I will let you know, when I talk
with employees, I will let you know, they were very proud of the work they
17:05:01 did. And they were proud of being able to deliver good services to people. They just would get frustrated sometimes that as soon as they got somebody trained up they got a better
job off from another county where they weren't there and sort of put them back.
17:05:15 So, things that County could do better on the next one.
17:05:22 Housing. And again, a lot of people say they can't afford to work in as a member of the.
17:05:28 County Administration because they can work to live here. So that's the number one thing.
17:05:34 They understand especially I was working in permitting and playing how difficult it is to get information to people and one of the things I heard mentioned to me several times
was they think the county can do a better job.
17:05:49 Explaining to the community at large what that process is before they get to the counter and have they have to say no because you haven't got everything filled up correctly
or you haven't jumped through several groups before you get here and I can sign off.
17:06:02 So that becomes a frustration and sometimes for them to make the customer happy.
17:06:13 Sounds like employees don't feel like there's a lot of opportunity for engagement.
17:06:20 I have mixed messages on that I will say. I think that it's, Some people need more.
17:06:31 Some people, need to. Get their yearly performance evaluation on time and have them understand that they're doing a great job.
17:06:41 Some people never ever wanna get, evaluation and they're happy sitting in their cubicle and not be noticed at all.
17:06:47 I think this comment or this category also kind of. Relates to a couple of comments I read in the comments section on the employee survey.
17:06:58 About us having a disjointed campus. Thank you, Yeah, we have a chat. You use an add log and.
17:07:07 You know, whatever, we're all spread out like physically separated. It's like physically separated.
17:07:18 That's like physically separated. This is also a national time. So I try the Gallup Q 12, this is also a national plan.
17:07:25 So I try the Gallup Q. 12, which is their long. So I tried the Gallo Q 12.
17:07:27 So I tried the Gallup Q 12, which is a long,. They are.
17:07:31 Yeah, because of the pandemic. People, it's hard. It's been harder to engage.
17:07:38 And so there's been. Sorry, I think there's been a lot of confusion created by a lot of the.
17:07:50 Stop and go stop and go things. And then the virtual virtual, but that also comes down to questions about, you know, I'm not sure what my job is.
17:08:00 I'm confused. I, you know, I have too many jobs to do and I'm not sure what priorities are because my manager hasn't talked to me about this.
17:08:06 I'm making a guess and what if I guess wrong? And so there's that conversation that occurs all the time, but it has been exacerbated.
17:08:14 Seriously exacerbated by what we went through during the pandemic and what we're trying to, how we're trying to find our way now that the pandemic is maybe over.
17:08:22 And what comes now? Are we gonna go back to the way it used to be? Are we gonna do something different?
17:08:29 Things just change every day. So we need to come up with new ways for, to engage because what we know is that they don't feel as engaged across the nation as And when I come
back to the office and what, but I'll say this one last, I'll see this one last thing about that. I'll say this one last thing about that.
17:08:52 We go into something else. Both groups that I met with here in the courthouse. As they left, I had the comment from several people in both groups.
17:09:01 We need to do this more often. They wanted to have their particular say and feel like they really heard.
17:09:07 Whatever was going on. So, that, personal engagement becomes even more difficult as we're doing more virtual stuff.
17:09:15 But, but we're getting better at, you know, by the way, nobody has a great idea.
17:09:22 Just now about how to increase that engagement. With that. Our organization, 900, 900, and, 30, place, by getting closer to a thousand, the majority of our workforce is remote,
cause we live all over the country. And that's something that our.
17:09:41 Is trying to figure out how do we keep people engaged. So no great answers that and they have the luxury of having that's also the.
17:09:54 Just a few dollars. Yeah. So employee perspectives. I think the number one thing that stands out is, so employee perspectives.
17:10:02 I think the number one thing that stands out here is they want flexible workout. By the way, Okay.
17:10:12 So. Yeah, they talk a lot about.
17:10:19 The.
17:10:23 The incentives they would have. Or that they think they need. They see happening in other places that they don't have here.
17:10:29 So I think that's where the flexible work hours comes from and it just sounds really cool to, yeah, like, yeah, training and, and not just training, but continuing education
wasn't that I was saying.
17:10:51 Training and, and not just training, but continuing education wasn't that I was saying. Training and, and not just training, but continuing education wasn't that I was saying.
17:10:54 Well, and I will tell you I have opportunities to learn in advance. That's really important.
17:11:00 People that is considered to be engagement, right? So that's a really important observation. Next one.
17:11:10 And Kate, how lucky. Things that would improve the. Cost of living adjustments, you know.
17:11:16 The number one thing that people have talked about is simply that they Everything is more expensive. Housing is more expensive.
17:11:27 Growth trees are more expensive. Transportation is more expensive. And they can't afford to do their job.
17:11:31 So they, they're for workers because they go work in another county, software more money that the differences between counties even on this.
17:11:39 It's significant and or the difference between the county and the city. They just, you know, people are gonna go where they can make the most money now because everything is
expensive.
17:11:47 So that's. No problem. Other comments? Yeah, he's thinking about what he wants to use from them.
17:12:05 Lovely spread. Okay. Once you get your food, then start processing. And this is just some comments that stakeholders made about, you know, what would an ideal future look like?
17:12:24 And these are the things, right? So these are things that had to come up many times before they made it on this list.
17:12:32 So thoughts, I don't see anything that unicorns in here. So yeah, it's just fun.
17:12:42 Although I will say, you know, taking the environment, make it easier to build. And those 2 things are really hard balanced. They are they are.
17:12:54 There's paradoxes in.
17:12:58 Oops.
17:13:03 Do you want to stop here? You might go through priorities or let's make it to So,'s next to you slide.
17:13:12 For priorities from social pinpoint, we're affordable housing, economic opportunity and job and business availability, environmental protections.
17:13:18 Recreation options. And you're exactly right, Kate, but those things just sort of. Meet head on.
17:13:26 Stakeholder interviews, support, and accessible housing. Reliffable competitive wages. Focus on middle class and lifetime cycle to attract retain people, sustainable growth.
17:13:37 So you got You got a lot of competing factors here. A lot of desire to see positive change. And it's just up to you to figure out how to do that.
17:13:48 No problem, right?
17:14:05 We checked up with very, and housing opportunities. In homelessness. Focus groups, wages are not competitive.
17:14:13 That's true even for the private business, not just for. government businesses. Hi, turnover rates, non centralized workplace.
17:14:22 Kind of making progress. Yeah, by, building the, so.
17:14:34 Oh, and the third bullet point from the Yeah, it's hard to do that kind of collaboration.
17:14:46 Okay. And the next one is, what does stakeholders and commoners, the top priority should be in terms of the next one to 2 years.
17:14:58 Or 3, 5 years. Number one growth in infrastructure planning, Bryan Mill protections and expanding all services throughout County being their highest priorities.
17:15:06 For the next one to 2 years and then followed by housing options and regulations. Creation availability of livable wages, recreational opportunities and attraction of the younger
families.
17:15:16 Get that in your diversity eyes. I thought the grouping of these was really a student because those things that are in 3 to 5 years, longer to develop.
17:15:28 So people were very thoughtful and smart. I mean, they work on many, many differences between understanding that, you know, magic doesn't have.
17:15:37 So what do you think about this one? This was confidence levels that were expressed in terms of whether or not these.
17:15:44 I see. That's a great place already. What I would, would I, would I, when I reflect upon interviews and, well, this data was really, people do know that this is a great place
to live.
17:16:12 The 2 Because when we ask people, Second survey when you're interviews and at this opportunity ask people why need you market below 4, right?
17:16:22 I mean, what people would say is we have some really big challenges that we have. Yeah, the same thing.
17:16:32 I'm just being realistic here. You know, there's not so much human, you know, there's not so much, human, resources that we have, the tourists promises only so much money and
we have put towards these problems and so much money we have put towards these problems.
17:16:44 And so while we would love to chip in and help them achieve those problems. And so while we would love to chip in and help them achieve those goals, whatever they may be to
chip in and help them achieve those goals, whatever they may be to solve these problems.
17:16:47 It's gonna be dang hard. So I think that's a realistic number. Okay, so it's the bridge by the way.
17:17:04 Yeah.
17:17:09 It's the levels that it isn't. For example, have you ever dial that back, you know.
17:17:13 Just in some cases getting the resources here that you need. So there. Really.
17:17:24 Alright, we're gonna take a break here. So that people can grab a little something to eat. We're gonna do the slot analysis.
17:17:30 Let me come back from that shortly. So it's 10Â min, Okay. . The Back.
17:31:27 Yeah.
17:31:34 Yeah, Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I think with you and I think, Holding up.
17:31:55 We will come back into session and move on. That's the. So let me think about what it is.
17:32:05 And, We do it, analyze your current system before we decide on any strategies that they allow you to make a look of your sense, try to work on some of your weaknesses and see
if you can remove some obstacles and working on some of the issues that are gonna be important to work on in the next 5 years.
17:32:32 Challenges. Here's what we derive from the environmental scanning process and we want to start with these and then the question we last you were agreeing these is Is there something
missing from this that you could identify?
17:32:49 It's a stream. Meet this opportunity or challenging. Renee will record the things that aren't on here.
17:32:57 So don't. You know, it's here, we don't need to talk about it, but there's something that's missing from here that we want to talk about it.
17:33:03 Sure. Give you a minute to process that. You see, okay. Okay, under the strength, can we just add to that first bullet?
17:33:17 The county is. I mean, a lot of what I love about being in our community is the heritage that's here.
17:33:26 So preserving the heritage as well. So I don't see that. Okay, well I know a lot of people who consider that an asset.
17:33:34 In our community. Good one.
17:33:41 Anything else in the strings? There. What does that add to that like sense of place and choosing to be here?
17:33:50 Like this is not this, the, intentionality around the sense of place. It's not easy.
17:34:02 Yeah.
17:34:09 That's a strength.
17:34:22 And by the way, these are also, you know, you see. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, the fifth, and then 6 months.
17:34:42 Both of my employee groups that I spoke with said one of the questions we asked if you could say anything to, what would it be?
17:34:46 Welcome to. Thank you. Thank you. I saw one comment ask people, Yeah, What about That's good.
17:35:12 Yeah, so. There's only one definition of growth that I see that we can kind of like nail it down and that's actual.
17:35:25 The nationwide, So we didn't get clarity when we were talking to people about what is the So I think there's, on what is the kind of growth that we want and. Hannah. Because
one is, you know, how good it. Coming.
17:35:51 And, the, IS, the kind of growth that we want. And, and, because one is, you know, that's how good.
17:35:52 C We need a lot. We absolutely don't need to travel over to, for the Silver Day or someplace to get back, right?
17:35:59 We need, some options for, at least greater retail options in Jackson County. And other people said don't you know they're both out stores that's all we ever. So that's all
we ever.
17:36:15 So that's That's up to you. Hello, barriers but income inequality. It's a massive, And that is part of that.
17:36:33 I think it will be called out. I mean, I'm just, I'm under the challenges, economic diversity, you unfortunately have quite a bit in equity.
17:36:46 I mean, that's really, that, you know, a lot of that, you know, a lot of, Well, one of the things that we were talking about earlier, 60% of the Washington state is over 65
years old.
17:37:02 39% of Justin County. And I think a lot of those folks probably have some of that wealth that we're talking about, This is, inevitable.
17:37:28 To see that.
17:37:40 Any other? Points you would add. The opportunity is that on. I think one opportunity.
17:38:05 That it presented itself over the course of the pandemic was telecommuning.
17:38:13 Yeah, remote work. The ability to do a little more work in there, which could, you know, you could talk a, on that.
17:38:20 Hmm. I was talking about a thing of perspective. Not the calendar workforce, but yeah. Anyway.
17:38:45 Alright. Yeah.
17:39:13 Is there any opportunity that exist? As the county goes from less of the forest oriented industries. 2.
17:39:23 Whatever comes next. It's not their opportunity to be serious of coverage. for innovation and natural resources, especially with like services.
17:39:38 New forest products.
17:39:53 You guys gonna have. Yeah. Soon as we do our county wide.
17:40:07 Anything else on the slop? Yeah.
17:40:18 And the survey.
17:40:28 Please. I guess that phone sources are expanding. I don't see climate change. Hmm.
17:40:40 There's not like threats. Usually it's a squat, right? So, but in the comments I saw a lot.
17:40:55 Yeah. Climate change both Yeah, another. The challenges are external, is that right? It's a little bit different.
17:41:09 Okay. And government, let me say it's both internal and external. Okay. I think our, our state taxation system being really regressive.
17:41:23 Yeah.
17:41:19 Yeah, which makes it harder for us to do things like. Raise property taxes for. Yeah, something that we're, we see as valuable.
17:41:36 Hear that? That's a very good point. What I did here frequently. Was that the GMA?
17:41:45 Just not their needs. And at least 2 people, anyway, lot of people said they would like to see some sort of collaborative government effort to go to the state legislature and
ask for exceptions or something that would make it easier to do the things that this particular Yeah.
17:42:09 Okay, so volunteer, I think it's there, But in the community I'm hearing it often right now as a week next because a lot of the both, know some volunteers are aging out of their,
That's a challenge.
17:42:27 So we hope to upset the strength. Yeah.
17:42:41 Anything else?
17:42:51 I think again, back to taxation just that we have so much. You know, so many text dollars in that in other countries.
17:42:58 You know, again, it's a paradox. And we have on.
17:43:15 I mean, relationship with the state is I'm not sure that would go under, but you know, I mean, yeah.
17:43:19 Yeah, even to the state, you know, often people have expectations that are. Out of our control, so I'm not sure.
17:43:31 Yes, but it's just right. They're often too. All 4 of them.
17:43:44 Yeah.
17:43:51 Do you have any challenges explaining to the citizens what it is a county can and can't do? Is that a communication issue?
17:44:01 No, we don't have count. Typically when people get engaged with government, they're either, they're upset about something where they're engaged because they're trying very hard
to advocate for something.
17:44:15 And in between, you don't hear from them. Right? So it's one way or the other.
17:44:24 And especially with county government more than city government. It's one step removed, but it is a problem that a lot of people do not have You know, city, Only know more about
Congress usually then.
17:44:49 Anyone else in the room looks at these 4 patterns and goes. Those dummies that haven't even gotten that, right?
17:44:58 This one, let me go away. Great question. Please, it's a really appropriate place for staff to the common.
17:45:17 Well.
17:45:27 So I guess the question I have is not on the, like when you're figuring out where something goes like a housing availability and affordability is a challenge.
17:45:34 That's also weakness. You just have it in one and not the other. Yeah. I mean.
17:45:42 Hmm, it probably goes, right? Because it's Yeah, you don't have a
17:45:50 You don't have the right housing. I don't even say it's just about portability.
17:46:01 So that would be using this. Then under opportunities, you have a employee your attention, which seems connected to that piece where and maybe it's somewhere else on here, but
people can't afford to work here.
17:46:11 Because I can't afford to live here so that we can attract people. Hmm. Provide the services.
17:46:19 That's,. I think that needs to go in challenges. Employee retention. Circles back to a lot of the.
17:46:35 Take your attention. And retention. Is there, that is something that we've heard that sometimes you lose people in the recruiting process because they can't, they can't.
17:46:51 Make it work. It's been Well, there's multiple stories. Trying to hire someone from another area, not being able to find a house there and they couldn't get the job.
17:47:11 So, But housing is the biggest word in the, I think it's something I heard in the US, environment to scan the level of service was really a strength.
17:47:25 Yes, any level of service is right. And of course, people always want more.
17:47:44 Yeah, these are great editions. Sorry, one more. This week, this is lacking. And not saying is certainly as a.
17:47:51 There's a reason not to take action or excuse or what we can control. But sometimes I feel like.
17:47:58 It's outside for S or systems larger than ourselves that have this huge impact on us, especially like, we can control.
17:48:09 I can't really control that directly anyway. I mean, certainly there's a. There's an issue around providing, and relative to who wants any most of things, but nonetheless.
17:48:20 The cost, and, and, so, like, anyone, you know, it's like, it's like, That's right.
17:48:37 Well, I mean, only has so many leaders, right? And I'm just trying to significant issue like that.
17:48:49 Okay. There's probably a better word, but, I think it's something that they're a real challenge.
17:49:01 The only way. Challenge your weakness. That's enough. And then, and I think it's much easier to.
17:49:21 You challenge something that's happening You don't have to give justification for no action alternative. You know, what's the consequence that we don't build this house is rarely
a question that we ask.
17:49:40 Well, you see, we've seen a lot of this over the past 2 years where there's a People have this until the place they move to and then they get there and then they wanna shut
the gates.
17:49:49 Right? They don't want, let's not say how good this place is because then work people will come and then our quality of life.
17:49:57 We're so attracted to, that's a very real thing.
17:50:08 Thanks. Really the, 45Â min. Then, you know, before that's been denied that is in the Right.
17:50:47 Did you take in the survey age? Did you pull apart because I think the comments if you could break it apart by age groups.
17:50:56 Would be telling as good. We would say what comments if we can start to see the native moving. We need to have a way to tease out.
17:51:06 And I think you have such, earlier, interesting, demographics. And so, heavy, you know, how, that, and, they're, they're grabbing lots of other.
17:51:24 But it's hard to tease out. I think where the stories are coming from without. Looking at this unusual.
17:51:27 Go back and look at some of the, the, the, with this small. Children under what? 12, I think, the boss.
17:51:39 And the large, group over 65. So what's obviously driving the economy right now, the over 65.
17:51:48 O'clock. It's probably 65 to 85 which is only 20 years ago.
17:51:51 It's the 1965, which are captured in 40 years, right? And so your data, IS, a little bit.
17:52:01 You're telling the real story, I think. It's just because we don't have that.
17:52:05 I will say. It doesn't do a lot of good scattered demographic data when the survey on the outside is not.
17:52:22 To do that is about. $30,000. You know, easier. Yeah. And they're dog. They move here. They love this place.
17:52:50 I'm trying to think. If we put the different data points together that we showed you. I think we can make pretty accurate assumptions about what's going on.
17:53:05 If you need a lot more data to tell us what the real story is. Yes. It is pretty clear idea.
17:53:11 What the actual challenges are. Alright, like when I see you like, hey, we need, but you know, I think we need an So, Knowledge like that rental.
17:53:57 They put up there a thousand something. That was census. Is that like the last sexes? Cause I will say that like just, and totally, go on, say, like, the Facebook pages, for
the local rental, things where people are chatting back and forth.
17:54:11 I mean, it's easily, but the average that I see is that. For what is worth because 2 years, we're not 3 years out.
17:54:22 Things change. The only way to get something under that would be if you fire yourself and you're like, the only way to get something under that would be if you're by yourself
and you're like, that's a problem.
17:54:37 I mean, the sense of data is already out of date, but it's the best that we have.
17:54:38 I mean, the sense of data is already out of date, but it's the best that we have.
17:54:40 It's already out of date, but it's the best that we have unless we, you know, the special But we want, well, that's not really realistic.
17:55:02 If they're not, that's not really realistic. If they're not right now, the employees are the incoming people that It's not 1,000, it's double that easy.
17:55:07 3 years later.
17:55:14 All right, Alright.
17:55:20 Okay.
17:55:17 I was gonna add one last challenge. And that's how do you remain optimistic? When you see the.
17:55:26 The difficulties in in housing and affordability. So it's this. Optimism.
17:55:36 It's something that I think is important, but how do you, how do you, what's, it's a challenge to maintain that optimism in light of what we're seeing.
17:55:42 And I just wanna highlight because I think. I think that was Josh that mentioned. The, things becoming more difficult, the building codes.
17:55:54 So things are actually moving the wrong direction in a lot of ways. We have no control over that.
17:56:05 And Brendan Shop went up the slide again, the crop rates that, . Not really optimistic It's everyone agrees.
17:56:11 Phenomenal place, right? Everybody talks about what a phenomenal place is. It's looking forward that way.
17:56:19 Your obstacles are and what we can and may not be able to address and how that will change. You have to find this.
17:56:30 And then, you know, they're all saying the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step unless you try unless there is a conservative delivered effort to impact.
17:56:41 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 different goals. Then where do you go? There you are.
17:56:46 Well, and this thing about, is that some of these things require a long line to address. And so what we want to be sure is that your plan is that some of these things require
a long line to address.
17:56:59 And so what we want to be sure is that your plan has some short term so, That's, that's, that's, that's,.
17:57:28 Pessimistic about the future, the place that you are working. That group.
17:57:34 Do you guys still access? All in. Hi, it was a good buy in so the real. 25 years ago.
17:57:46 So I'm doing so much better than a lot of my years. But without that, this would be very hard to live.
17:57:54 Subsidizing my rent. I have someone who works with me. You know, small family, probably people.
17:58:08 Yeah, little one. Okay.
17:58:10 That's it. That's exactly what I've heard. And when, Katie articulated.
17:58:16 It's exactly what I heard it from some staff that they're, they looked at the housing market, they have young families and they're like, oh my god.
17:58:34 How do you ever get ahead? No, it's a generational issue. That people bought my house important when I sold it.
17:58:46 A, or down a couple. Wouldn't be boring. That's important when I sold it.
17:58:48 A or down a couple, wouldn't be boring they put a second parent for 2 years. The slightest chance.
17:58:51 Me and maybe one of the things to consider. Is how you as elected officials or as administrators and directors of departments in the county.
17:59:05 How do you communicate or convey your sense of at least a whole, if not optimism? To your employees to inspire them to make for them to they hang on we're making progress with
what we're doing.
17:59:20 You can help. So is that is that a challenge? And when you communicate that team effort to get to, you know, get over that first.
17:59:31 It's 4 house. So, we're gonna get into. Good amounts. We're gonna get into, the greatest.
17:59:44 We're gonna get into, the greatest learning work that So I'm gonna set it up and then there's a session around mission.
17:59:53 So you can use the word. Yeah, and, so just to be clear about what these different things are, your mission is your purpose.
18:00:17 Why you exist? What is your reason for meeting here? The vision is where you're going. It's what you are expiring to me, right?
18:00:30 It might be your side and you have some of the things that you have now would be the same. And it would inevitably be something you might have to do, right?
18:00:36 How can we make this place at least now? What's your areas? That you are going to.
18:00:50 Focus on, And it can't be 10 things, right? You can't be 10 priorities.
18:01:01 It's gotta be a smaller list because if you have 10 things your energy is gonna be dispersed.
18:01:06 You're not going to get anything done. So, taking a handful of focus areas and you might change that.
18:01:17 I'm both serious ideas from that. But it's things you're going to focus on, you're trying to make real progress.
18:01:23 So we're going to be working on all of those tonight and then your values. Your. Those things that the public should be able to accept when they see you carrying out their work.
18:01:37 Doing the business of their county that they could point to those things and say, yeah, that's how they do it.
18:01:41 Okay. So Renee is gonna start here with purpose. She'll, Michelle just described this in some detail.
18:01:54 What I handed out to you just now, I just went randomly on from the internet and look at a bunch of mission statements from counties all over the place.
18:02:02 But it's just something to give you a look at. Just like for yourself, it's just something to give you a look at.
18:02:06 Just like for yourself, it's just something to give you a look at. Just like for yourself, it's just a, that doesn't describe what we're trying to achieve, what we're doing
to reach our vision for is this a bunch of, but things nothing at all.
18:02:17 You were a citizen reading this. Oh, you can, switch places because I'm gonna chart this part.
18:02:25 And that their current vision statement is that mentioned, So, the current vision. And
18:02:38 En How does that, What? Thank you. Oh, active. One thing I was, I was thinking through this and we didn't even see a single, They're often very external focus.
18:03:04 Like, what is Jackson going to do? Or the Yeah, and a lot of Scan talks about Billing benefit.
18:03:19 I'm just wondering about. Referencing that team, you know. I don't have any words, but you know.
18:03:27 As an inclusive team. Okay. Oh.
18:03:42 Oh, Well, I don't why does it exist? You're saying that it's not who we are when we say what we want to do.
18:03:53 We are now. You can absolutely refer to something about your. You're on the government team in your mission statement.
18:04:07 Yeah, And, There's nothing, You know, why? And.
18:04:37 Yeah, I like the idea of implicating in the best way employees in the mission because they're saying you want them to be connected.
18:04:46 To employees, what else do our employees do? They benefit. Like service service. We heard that a lot.
18:05:05 I mean, they answer the door of the county. I mean, and all instances they're like the front.
18:05:10 Thanks.
18:05:17 More than, I mean, Zoom call. Something that I. I think, like, if I think about my mission and what I want to do is like.
18:05:32 Yes, very much about helping people thrive, whether it's employees or residents like having the ability to drive and.
18:05:41 Yeah, that's one of the in many ways we have here. Good morning. To drive.
18:06:00 I don't watch them. It's, New LIKE. Oh, they're living they're living a vision.
18:06:23 That's what they're doing on the Starship Enterprise
18:06:25 Yeah, so we just have
18:06:33 So, and employees provide, they, they benefit. Away from just their employees and what are the services you can find.
18:06:42 And, It was. Hmm.
18:06:53 Support a thriving team and delivering services to residents. There's support a thriving team in delivering services to residents of and visitors to And see that one more time,
Heidi.
18:07:17 I'm capturing and support a thriving team and delivering services to residents I like the words.
18:07:28 But I think if we go to those services, Yeah, so benefit from it. But we don't have to direct it to them.
18:07:36 But some, Yes. Actually, Services to residents and businesses of Jackson County.
18:07:54 Thank you. Do you create a sense of belonging? Wasn't Okay. Wide.
18:08:11 To allow people to.
18:08:34 On. And in case we'll, write, we'll write the statement. Okay, we'll write it using your words and we're good at weaving this stuff together. We'll write it using your words
and we're good at leaving this stuff together.
18:08:52 To capture your ideas. Well, I mean, businesses aren't just natural thought, so I've heard them that president, and it takes like a 3 legged stool.
18:09:00 Residents businesses and visitors. Okay. And I think the natural world, I think it's such a, so often and really that tension.
18:09:14 That I'm now, when development and. If we can. You know, we're talking about, Okay.
18:09:35 You like the Oh, again, what do you do? Yeah. It's also foundational. It's like something about building a strong foundation for all these things.
18:09:54 Okay. I think we try to be innovative here, which is not all associated with rural county governments.
18:10:03 Thank you. We don't have the climate change and the other challenges that are You know, talking long term.
18:10:26 I do like the idea of the present and future generations in here. I think that'd be great not to lose that part of your because it suggests that stability that sustaining foundation
if you will that Heidi was talking about.
18:10:44 So I think the, all the people in all ages also get to that because I like that.
18:10:54 You know, really, if you're serving truly certain people of all ages who are building. Future ages. That's not how I'd be bad.
18:11:02 I mean, the changing world that we are planning. That's different than for residents. Well, but when I like I could read that.
18:11:15 Our existing mission statement to be like we if we keep up with the status quo this will continue to be a great place for retirees.
18:11:25 We don't very, INSTRUCTION RESOURCES for you.
18:11:33 And, the market will continue to serve. And those will have no restaurants to eat. And they'll have no restaurants to eat.
18:11:41 And they will have no restaurants to see them. And they will have no restaurants to see there. And they will have no restaurants to eat. And they will have no restaurants to
eat.
18:11:47 And they You know, We thought to be that one day. I captured innovative right here and I just wanna point out we we will revisit it but innovation is in your current list of
values.
18:12:06 So. We will need to decide whether it's important enough to mention it in the mission also or whether it's okay if we talk about it in the context of values and it isn't a word
in the mission statement.
18:12:17 I don't know the answer to that. I'm just making a point. So I'm hearing that.
18:12:43 Yeah.
18:12:22 Perfect. Opportunities or, You know, I love that. One time. Well, and that might we might be bleeding over into the vision statement, but that's okay.
18:12:49 There's no right or wrong at this point. We're brainstorming. No right or wrong at this point. We're brainstorming.
18:12:52 So we'll see where it
18:12:59 I just wanted to add one thing because I think I heard that someone was saying that making the county a great place to grow up.
18:12:59 And grow old. So you're bringing both. Ends of the spectrum. And
18:13:12 That's good. Just hard for everybody in this room. Take a living. Hmm.
18:13:19 I mean, one thing, on the innovation front, one thing I've heard and I haven't, or somebody in the.
18:13:25 Okay, yeah. So it's like, it's, it's, it the innovation idea.
18:13:35 It's like. Where there's a fearlessness or I mean, we're small but might be.
18:13:45 That's all. Some of our team leaders are a leader of statewide and the work that they do.
18:13:50 You know. The only people crazy like we build in a small, But, would you take around in that bag and get the sticky note out of there?
18:14:05 Cause we're gonna move to the vision here in a second. Hey, more general, you know, the mission statement.
18:14:09 Okay, we don't exactly that. And, we'll prepare that for. . At the very bottom We'll prepare that for Friday.
18:14:32 And kind of. Have that group work on it a little bit. And then we'll come back to you with something in draft form that you can take and refine further.
18:14:46 But we're pretty, as long as we have all your concepts, we'll get some dress.
18:15:00 Sustainability. It's not It's like, Good morning. Alright, going once, going to remember, and remember, We have sustainability up there.
18:15:45 I want the big team to think about that. Yeah. It's nice. We want it.
18:15:54 We try really hard to stay away from buzzwords, but sometimes clients like them and if we know that you want to stay away from those, we'll find another way to say it.
18:16:01 Concept there. That's what it is. I got from the doors. No one's married.
18:16:17 You have our air quality thing. So the vision is the future state is not where you are now. It's where you want to be.
18:16:31 And because we don't want world peace is a nice idea, right? And it would we all love that?
18:16:36 Yes, that's not a 5 year vision. So you want it to be aspirational.
18:16:44 But achievable. So. I don't want you to limit yourself too much, but we would like the timeframe in here.
18:16:54 5 to 10 years from now. What's what do we really want to do and what do we think is possible?
18:16:59 Okay. Yeah, but it's not. I can see it's frustration, but it's really not that she would go then.
18:17:09 How are you gonna get people motivated and desires for suicide? Look at it. Well, there's no way to make that happen.
18:17:18 So you have a current vision statement. You can go ahead and read it. But I really do want you to do a from scratch exercise here.
18:17:28 And it's not to say you can't pick some of that those words in that phrasing.
18:17:34 Right, but what we're gonna ask you to do. I mean, they give each of you a different color.
18:17:40 I'm gonna give you a marker. Not gonna, you know. But I want you to, What?
18:17:53 You want this county to be like, 5 to 10 years for them. And when you create these, I want you to write only one idea.
18:18:04 So if you want, I'm making this house. We want clean water waste. I don't know.
18:18:13 I'm saving anything that you're paying attention to. But that's what you did. We're on your part.
18:18:17 Every one of those ideas put it on a separate stick, you know, and anything is saying, right?
18:18:27 Any aspect of Jefferson saying, and you can even, You have the most competitive workforce. Yes, you know.
18:18:37 Write that down. You got a market? Okay. Just start brainstorming on your own and then, Let's see where you are in 5Â min.
18:18:50 See if you need more time. And then when you're done, Renee and I will take your notes and we will start organizing them up on this wall.
18:18:58 Okay.
18:19:06 Yes. Okay. Just talking about, And then, Hmm. We'll think we don't need it.
18:19:32 Yeah. Yeah. We have the sticky nose. Okay.
18:19:49 Hmm. Thank you.
18:19:57 Hmm.
18:20:01 Okay. Okay.
18:20:09 Management, Hmm.
18:20:33 And ideally. We, It's a long time.
18:21:05 So, okay. Yes. So, Okay.
18:21:42 Yeah, I mean, when I'll send them, okay, I'll take pictures of all the chart.
18:21:45 Is that? Okay. Yeah. Good.
18:21:59 Okay.
18:22:04 Yeah.
18:22:09 No, okay.
18:22:19 Yeah, . One Okay. I, Okay. Okay.
18:22:48 Got it. 15. I.
18:23:17 Okay. Okay, So yeah, Oh, Fun stuff. . That Yeah.
18:24:30 Okay. Yeah.
18:24:37 Okay. Okay.
18:24:53 Alright. Let's give you another minute or so. It's not a competition. Okay.
18:25:11 Okay. Yes. Okay, Oh yeah? I don't know if anyone else.
18:25:30 But. Go on. Okay. Yeah, Last call.
18:26:14 My last one for the wind. Thanks. Over. We're gonna start.
18:26:21 Good. And, and once we get them, we're in a name of office, you put them on and then we're going to start organizing that.
18:26:27 Okay. Alright, so accessible service.
18:26:33 Good evening. Oh, I know. Not.
18:26:48 To mobile. Perfect wait times are reasonable, so I'm gonna start. Hey, John. Okay.
18:27:03 The level rise solutions in place. . I don't see a thing. I'm gonna put this one.
18:27:15 This is a value. So I'm gonna put it over here. We're gonna keep it, but I'm gonna put it there.
18:27:22 Orange trade thriving. Let me go see. Maybe? Well, they're outside.
18:27:32 I don't find the change. Yeah, I'll put this over here. That's it. Manny. So right here.
18:27:39 Yeah. This one goes here. Farms and farmers striving. Everyone's riding.
18:27:49 Think that's probably okay. Yeah, we can kind of start. We're gonna start to show.
18:27:58 Go the border, Oh, that's, middle income housing being built at pace first the housing
18:28:17 Healthy collaboration towards the future.
18:28:24 I put it in the values column now, but we might move it. Same thing here. County team, well connected and collaborative.
18:28:32 I'm gonna put it here. We might change our minds, but let's just go there for now.
18:28:35 And we'll work for a housing. Yep. Supported families.
18:28:45 Okay. So.
18:28:51 Port Handlock, UGA. What's that? Is it part of economic development or something?
18:29:03 Maybe it goes in both open and there, but probably overlaps.
18:29:17 Okay. Put it there for now. Let me talk about it. Active healthy residents. It could be put it there for now. We can talk about it. Active healthy residents.
18:29:24 This have to do with. Healthy community. We haven't really talked about that. Yes, it's here.
18:29:30 Harmony, are you? Value. I thought of a workforce.
18:29:41 Probe ecosystems. Okay.
18:29:48 More employers able to offer the A model for other rural counties. Okay. Over all of it.
18:30:12 We don't have a public safety column yet. Crime and SUD area. Oh, Crime and SUV, R, D, So, It could be you could connect the 2.
18:30:32 Communities are combining the public safety and all pieces into one. Stable innovative staff. And maybe we should have one just for internals.
18:30:42 We do. And so anything that was in the values thing needs to have its own. Yeah. Jefferson County is a great place to work.
18:30:50 Well, is it external or internal? Yeah.
18:30:57 Obviously. 4 60 little rice. Inspiring leaders.
18:31:14 This could be with the. Right, Oh, Okay, so we do not have anything related to. Transportation and infrastructure.
18:31:34 So I'm gonna put it in its own column for now. And then increasing school census, So this is really an outcome.
18:31:43 How much can the county do about this? Not saying it's wrong. The more we're able to see families here.
18:31:55 Where will that go?
18:32:01 Yeah, 3 word it too, just be retaining soundless. Supported families under that. Yeah, I think I think that's a good spot for it.
18:32:14 Hi, level of civic engagement.
18:32:19 Yes. And that's all the staff, internal. So yeah, so I wasn't gonna put it under there.
18:32:31 I was just like looking to see. If there was any column that it fits in. Engagement could be a value.
18:32:46 Where was that? We can always change it. Alright, so we have 123-45-6789.
18:33:05 So we have 123-45-6789. So many, but let's not worry about that right now because we're, we're gonna move to guiding principles after this.
18:33:09 But what I want to do is name these columns. And we're gonna assume that. If you did all of this, you would be a model for.
18:33:16 Just keep that one up there. Yeah. So let's, name these columns. What is the back column over there?
18:33:26 I actually felt the residents. Crime and SUD. Healthy community, safe and healthy community.
18:33:41 Goodness. So they're thinking down at 25 years. Okay.
18:33:49 I've done it wrong a few times. That's gonna be that example. You won't be.
18:33:53 Okay. You're gonna do it wrong once in a while if you do it that live. There we have accessible services throughout the county, supported families, increasing school census
lower kids.
18:34:07 S.
18:34:13 Yes.
18:34:18 We're gonna, we're gonna, these defect coming out of the off the line. This one we need to buy.
18:34:33 This one needs to go. It's not wrong, but it's granular. It's not wrong, but it's granular.
18:34:36 Now, Okay. What about this one? Sport as well. Not just support, Accessible.
18:35:01 Let's just call it how we, We'll come up with it. Phillip More, they just driving diverse economy.
18:35:28 Again, we can change these so at least if we get a starting point on the name of the call.
18:35:37 Alright, which one is this? Is this one? What certainly has something to do with the environment. Let's call it right here, forest protected in crew ecosystems.
18:35:48 Fleet electrified carbon footprint, reduce sea level rise solutions in place. Hmm. Is it more than is it just around climate change or is it more than that?
18:36:10 I. There's resiliency in there. For sure.
18:36:25 What do you think? Environment? Let's make it easier on ourselves for now and just call it climate.
18:36:38 Hi, Miss. Environment.
18:36:44 Again, these are time off. It's just. Just to get close. Alright, this community development piece over here.
18:37:01 Where does that fit or is it something? It could go down with the internal stuff too. Like the governments we heard about.
18:37:15 Efficient and transparent governance.
18:37:30 Yeah, there would be more things that could go under here. You're active in multimodal transportation.
18:37:39 And again, there's probably other things that could go there, but what would you call that? That is, Okay.
18:37:52 But, well, it could actually fit a lot of places because it Alright. And reception. But yeah, they need more infrastructure just because we didn't have.
18:38:02 So yeah, I didn't need more infrastructure just because we didn't have. Seller.
18:38:05 Yeah, we had such a, a, a, of. Is there is there an a word that you would say is describing what you would like to do.
18:38:27 Alright. Good. I think we're going with this. So What's starting to emerge here, you know, we're gonna we're gonna craft a couple of examples of a vision statement from these
words that reflect the things that are.
18:38:50 Standing out here, but I think you can see as we named the categories. Those are the beginnings of your strategic priorities.
18:38:59 So, what would you call this one? This is all the. Great, thanks to work.
18:39:16 Okay.
18:39:22 And I would say we can call that that for now before we come back to talk about these and so we come back to talk about these and so we have 8 we come back to talk about these
is so we have 8 we come back to talk about these I would suggest again, we're not going to do it here, but
18:39:41 it's more than this. Yes, it's this. And it's about having an organization healthy enough that it can do all of these things.
18:39:49 So it's more, it's yes, it's a great place to work, but it's more than that. It's Heidi's metaphor.
18:39:57 We're all growing in the same direction. How does that go? Alright, and George, Vancouver, explore these waters and long boats.
18:40:05 That was 8 orders running together. But if you don't row together, it's ugly.
18:40:11 So we're gonna leave this here and come back to it. So now I want the chart backup.
18:40:17 Cause We're gonna talk about guiding principal snaps. So if this if these are the things we want to achieve in the next.
18:40:25 5 to 10 years. Let me advance the slide here. And you're trying to think, well, what would, Well, how should we be going about our business in order to achieve those things,
right?
18:40:41 This is your current list of core values. So Renee, I'll let you facilitate this and all
18:40:50 Right. Okay, your core values and recognize we might have others over here.
18:40:59 We're looking at these words here, and, and, and, and, we've got a lot of those words up there too.
18:41:05 But if you wanted to take integrity, how would you describe something that you do? Yeah, That is, Give me a language.
18:41:21 Yeah, go ahead. And yes, I want to do that. I'm sorry, Renee.
18:41:25 I had to interject because what I want, what I think would be helpful to do first is That's a long list.
18:41:30 Might have a few others. Is are some of these similar, right? Could you combine? And if not, that's okay.
18:41:38 We still wanna do what Renee is saying, but first of all, let's see if there's anything you think fits together that could be combined in 2.
18:41:46 One thought.
18:41:53 It could be a different word, doesn't have to be the same word. Exactly.
18:41:58 And remember you have these things up here too. Yes, he's already there.
18:42:07 Also.
18:42:14 Yeah. And.
18:42:23 We have a request from those watching online to. Center the discussion on the screen rather than the presentation. That's gonna be hard to do because we can't zoom in.
18:42:30 So yeah, I just wanted to know what thinks accountability and transparency are very close.
18:42:38 So we've done that list. Oh. Is transparency on the list? Yes.
18:42:43 Hang on. So I'm sorry, I didn't hear somebody pointed out that So they seem they don't need to both be on the list.
18:43:00 When I think in our world, in the public sector, they have integrity. And so you are accountable.
18:43:07 You have professional. Are there any words up here in the same? Creative. That's the way.
18:43:26 That's hard. Oh, I'm sorry.
18:43:42 So like the, Yeah.
18:43:50 So, Right. I didn't mind the scrap of those. And then we had those words still old to me.
18:44:02 Yeah, really, Right, so.
18:44:17 So. Okay. Start over. Okay.
18:44:32 So we would start over when you have equity and engaged as part of your new list or part of your new list? Or?
18:44:46 Mine. Okay. Dropbox around that one. I think transparency is really important, especially in our Yeah. Is there is there, you're describing that to somebody.
18:45:08 You're describing that to somebody. That might be, you know, anything new, it's accessible to me to look back, but there Open and accessible.
18:45:14 Less than transparency. Goes like, yeah. That other meeting to work like that you can like send you the account is accessible like you don't work to live here.
18:45:31 Yeah, yeah. So what a great thought.
18:45:33 And one of my
18:45:38 Devication commitment, loyalty. Right. And that's what we heard.
18:46:01 And usually there's like when these appear, there's often a descriptor word that comes with it.
18:46:03 So service, what kind of service? Right. Exceptional, Oh, that's really good.
18:46:17 You, Yeah. Okay. Oh, I got engaged up here. Integrity is part of trustworthy.
18:46:36 So I put a box around trustworthy because it captured a whole bunch of thoughts.
18:46:42 Harmony is up there in collaboration. Okay. Okay. Where does the harmony ones get in?
18:46:52 You know, when I wrote that, I would really, Okay. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
18:47:14 6. There's 6 up here. Equitable or equity, that would be engaged. Oh, yeah, trust ready has to go through too.
18:47:29 So it would be equity rather than at real trustworthy equity. We'll make this parallel construction.
18:47:35 The future like looking. Vision, your vision, forecasting. Visionary.
18:47:48 Another word. I think it's, you know, I think, Yeah, that's, yeah, intentional.
18:48:08 Yeah. I'm trying to think of a shorter worth though. Purpose. This is very small.
18:48:22 We can do Radical. Just red. Okay, when you look at the new list, is there anything missing?
18:48:38 So we have trustworthy, equitable or equity, is there anything. We have trustworthy, equitable or equity, engaged, collaborative, accessible slash open.
18:48:44 Dedicated, committed, self service, purposeful and intentional.
18:48:52 I worry about the self list just like I think, that can smack of likes. Being has to give too much in an unhealthy way.
18:49:00 Oh, one thing that's missing. We had. Innovation as part of the original list and then you brought it up a couple times.
18:49:13 No, I'm trying to say creativity, but like. I had to have that idea of, you know, creative innovative.
18:49:26 Generative or, What we will do is we will do a word search. And we will try really hard to avoid the typical bus word since you kind of indicated a preference for trying to
be fresh.
18:49:41 About this, We'll be intentional about that.
18:49:47 Okay, you'll crush fresh and woke. I'm refreshing these values. Go.
18:50:09 Okay, we'll work with that again. So, I'm refreshing these values. Yeah. Okay, we'll work with that. Again, staff will get to weigh in on this on Friday, right?
18:50:18 They'll help Okay. What's next for me? Oh, strategic priority.
18:50:27 So now we're gonna come back to this.
18:50:33 Yeah.
18:50:39 Okay. Okay, we need to come back to this.
18:50:45 And it's really important that. You focus. Okay. Hey, How many parents are you gonna see?
18:51:07 Okay, so. We're not gonna do the same sticky note thing here because we already have all this.
18:51:15 We need. What we need to do is say. Are there some of these things that really together that are in that are interdependent?
18:51:25 And that we could collapse. Infrastructure housing. And the
18:51:38 Yeah.
18:51:42 So you would put infrastructure and housing together? Well, I mean, the reality is we're not going to build housing, right?
18:51:52 But.
18:51:58 I think it's a Housing is, yeah, all this stuff. So this, it's, that's not gonna be the title of it.
18:52:04 It's gonna be something besides housing. Bigger than housing is the title. That'd be right.
18:52:18 I mean, I think infrastructure is a tool that one of the tools that we can use for the Cool.
18:52:22 Okay, this is what I would say. Housing was big, big in the middle of that graphic.
18:52:29 It was the number one theme that we heard. I think in all of our conversations anyway, I don't think it rose.
18:52:35 All the way to the top in some of the survey results. However, If we're listening to everything we heard.
18:52:43 Howing would be. One of your strategic priorities. I don't know. It's not, it exists for a total purpose as well.
18:52:59 And that's important, but. I think it should go under housing. I guess.
18:53:09 We have this also the. Okay, regulatory. Portion of we're planning.
18:53:24 Yeah.
18:53:30 Not to say that this won't be a strategic priority, but over here. Yeah, I'm focused on the things that have lots of stuff under them.
18:53:40 Are you placed to work? That's another one that we heard again and again and again and again.
18:53:46 Yeah. There is a question is, 40 family. There are other things. It's done.
18:54:17 There's another really big priority. So, Okay, yeah, and the economic related stuff there, right?
18:54:26 Yep, I think that's right. I think. You're gonna have family stuck here, right?
18:54:34 And stuff for other residents and you're also gonna have family stuff here. Under driving diverse economy. This one, it's bigger.
18:54:46 I'm gonna say.
18:54:55 You might not like this title. I'm not sure I am hot about it either, but it's really bigger.
18:54:56 Is the health of the organization and the people in it. I'm happy with that. Childcare.
18:55:06 And if we do all these things.
18:55:13 This should be the outcome.
18:55:19 Let's say I don't wanna lose supporting families. Yeah. Because you know, it's, yeah, because it's a workforce, having schools that can continue to function.
18:55:30 Like I'm not saying it's the only, that can continue to function. Like, I'm not saying it's the only, but I do think it's one that's Again, like to its own devices, the marketing
totally.
18:55:35 Price amount of here. Those rich families too. Sure. I mean, I just we're calling out.
18:55:44 I mean, a couple of times in this conversation where we prioritize that population. I mean, we want to make sure that you Okay, but I mean No.
18:55:54 What's that? So I have some concern. Identify any particular subpopulation and saying we want to focus on this particular subpopulation.
18:56:06 I want to create a. The table for every, That's where the challenge lies, though, would be understood, is it inappropriate to make a strategic goal to help?
18:56:27 What if we said What? So we might have to. Come up with a different descriptor but just for purposes of playing the South.
18:56:35 What to me it's about thriving people. It's about creating opportunities that result in thriving people and thriving community.
18:56:45 Which could be all retirees in 10 years. If we don't very intentionally build a child care center.
18:56:54 You know, have a housing board and workforce like so Kate what we could do and so these are just like the one to 3 word categories if we want to make sure those things happen,
we write that into the whole statement, right?
18:57:10 That's what it looks like for us in 5 years, right? That's what it looks like for us in 5 years to have, right?
18:57:16 That's what it looks like for us in 5 years to have a thriving community or half-threatening people to be ready into the goal statements.
18:57:18 Does that make sense? It does. Yeah, I like I said, I think as an organization, it actually drives a lot of downstream decisions.
18:57:25 I'm really big. I know in a way it's infrastructure. I mean, who's gonna feed and the elderly in our community and live their bus.
18:57:36 Right. Yeah, I'm not arguing against families. The meet people includes everybody.
18:57:57 Working people. Well, I mean, or on social for any people in all ages.
18:58:27 How about just the place to drive? That's what this is. Everybody has a chance to drive. And everybody has me the chance to drive.
18:58:39 You know, we just keep delivering what the cake makes, which is a good point too.
18:58:46 But, Okay. Okay. So if we we're gonna we're gonna keep this and we're gonna come up with objectives that drive that forward, right?
18:59:05 Yeah, Oak is not the eco center here. Oh, it's still there. It's a big one.
18:59:11 There's a big one too. Okay, so what we there's more we can do on that still.
18:59:23 Well, I guess I'm still, More we can do on what? And that's right. People of all ages.
18:59:37 I feel like we want, Do specific things just the same way we had a, you, you know, workforce and, they're all really critical.
18:59:47 Parts of our community and we want to work on all of the things. Equitable, or, .
18:59:58 Yeah Yeah. You are good. I think it was. You know, We're, yeah, robust, which then implies families, single including support.
19:00:40 Okay, Let me do this in both, like when you build for families, you end up with a very different state.
19:00:54 And, you know, we do this for senior pretty well. But it's, it does actually matter.
19:01:01 Like, I don't wanna move on, Chelsea. Yes, there are some people who live namely and they can't support an apartment or they can So.
19:01:23 The opportunity to find given time to tell things, not just family home. And, Yeah, and I don't actually, mean, I wasn't born, but any other girl, like, in the day, you know,
the market doesn't take care of them and if you don't build for it.
19:01:40 they They can't leave.
19:01:51 Yeah, there's a, GENERATION property. That's really, which we know, 20, almost 20, between 21 and 22% of the children in this county live in poverty.
19:02:02 This is like official already though. It's bigger than that. You're absolutely right. That's just that's the bare minimum definition, right?
19:02:17 . One That's good. The racial, diversity is much higher in the schools and the family people that it is in the population of the whole, Okay.
19:02:32 Not.
19:02:40 So where are we? We've got 6. Priority areas, which is okay. They can't know.
19:02:49 How are you feeling about the driving diverse people? As a separate priority stuff. Separate from they are separate.
19:03:03 The orange ones are the categories. The strategic priority categories.
19:03:11 Yes. Maybe populations instead of people driving diverse populations. This is, I don't know, we're talking about.
19:03:20 One support families and support the workforce, you know. Individuals.
19:03:31 We'll work on that.
19:03:34 Close enough. Yeah, I mean, if we wanted to class together, I think you could justify quick take a healthy community under thriving diverse people.
19:03:44 But And then the feedback that you know. Well, so couple of things to point out. You wanna think about the unique role.
19:03:58 Rolls the county government place, right? You have the health department here. City governments. Have taken on some of them have taken on more of that because of the pandemic.
19:04:09 But also because of the increasing homelessness crisis. But you got the health department, you got the sheriff's department, there's a whole bunch of stuff that, that fits under
that.
19:04:22 So. You got.
19:04:30 This whole thing about resiliency and environment, I worry a little bit. That your infrastructure is buried in here.
19:04:39 Yeah, Active. That would sit there. Yes. And I'm sure the staff are going to come up with some, objectives around that.
19:04:51 But. I wanted to call out the. Infrastructure kind of being buried. Housing and robust economy. It's part of robust economy.
19:05:03 It's part of climate resilience. It's part of housing. You can make the case that it's part of same.
19:05:11 So maybe it'll just be in the infrastructure objectives and where we end up where they're categorized.
19:05:17 That could work. Yeah. Almost everyone's infrastructure, to including organizational,, all these. Yeah, the last couple of, finding engagements that I just finished that they
did not call out infrastructure as a priority. Yeah, the last couple of, planning engagements that I just finished that they did not call out infrastructure as a priority.
19:05:41 And it' In fact, it's under the under of the. What other infrastructure? Okay. But it's, it's not just like, you know, things in the grounds.
19:06:04 There's a jail. Okay. Happiness. I'm still at the catering facilities.
19:06:19 This is something that can be up there. It could, it could go, it could go in organizational health.
19:06:24 Yeah.
19:06:29 And again, staff will help tease this out because they'll go, No, no. And they'll bring probably bring some, you know, recommendations back of some ways they think this should
be tweaked and refined.
19:06:41 So what was that? County facilities.
19:06:56 Any more? Speaking of this. Well, I wonder if we should have one. I guess just to finish that conversation.
19:07:04 I don't know. Yeah, Grant application is dependent on our vision. Advantage of this, you know, once a lifetime funding opportunity.
19:07:27 And I, yeah, it's investment infrastructure here and I think staff are gonna probably be really good at telling us under each of these, what are the infrastructure implications
that we need to be focused on?
19:07:45 We have a robust economy, we can even add it maybe to the . It's like planning for Yeah, that's just none of the, economy, but.
19:08:01 The huge underpinning of it. You know. Yeah, Totally.
19:08:19 One thing that we haven't captured up here, that is something that we really focused on in the last couple years, collaborating with our peers and the partners.
19:08:27 I think that's something that's
19:08:31 There was a collaboration. It's, 1, one thing we can do is we kind of stated it here's a value in the statement that goes along with it we can do is we kind of stated it here's
a value in the statement that goes along with it we could talk about that just, it here is a value. And the statement that goes along with it, we could talk about that just collaboration,
collaborating your departmentally.
19:09:09 It's Yeah, I think I think. That'll be well captured.
19:09:18 If you're okay with this for going into direction for staff. The next thing we would do.
19:09:22 Is brainstorm by category. What's the outcome? So it's 5 years out and you have a safe and healthy.
19:09:33 What is that? I don't put workforce housing.
19:09:58 Okay, do we need 5Â min? Okay, let me get a different colored marker because I'm tired of looking.
19:10:31 So Hyde, what did you say here? Ad workforce housing. . Happy community is gonna Is that under hospital?
19:10:40 Oh, I'm sorry. I thought we were used to it. Now we're talking about safety.
19:10:43 What is safety? If you achieve a goal in 5 years for saving health, what will be? Good morning.
19:11:14 Okay, about safety. Okay. Thank you. Maybe that's why.
19:11:36 What would it look like? Yeah, in 5 years. What will you have achieved in 5 years? Well, if you want it to be more safe or at least as safe as it is now.
19:11:53 What does that look like? Let's property time. That let me reduce. 5. 5%.
19:11:59 Okay. Where are we on safety? Thank you. Business.
19:12:16 Here. I know. Yeah. What else would you need to put in place to make the community more safe or feel more safe?
19:12:30 James, look at you. So, I think. That you need.
19:12:43 Warren G. Or, I think that I And, you know, we're, we're,
19:13:17 Cool.
19:13:23 Right, so what is the, what is that achieve? So what's not being achieved currently with the code enforcement the way it is.
19:13:46 Yeah, Oh, all those, you know, right, very involved. Process. Specific design. I, you know, all of that.
19:14:23 But here, to that population, they're going to be your user. Yeah, okay. I have to put meaningful activities and quotes and will have to define what those are. Yeah, okay.
19:14:31 I have to put meaningful activities in quotes and we'll have to define what thriving diverse people in populations.
19:14:34 So what happens do you want to receive? To get to thriving diverse people. Or child care.
19:14:48 How do you get more diverse? Okay, the diversity we're talking about. Wait, you know, we've heard already that.
19:14:57 The racial diversity that we have is concentrated in our youth as is the poverty. So we're looking for work work.
19:15:08 Yes. That's,. Okay. So accessible services, for the families, in school, census, more childcare, attendees.
19:15:23 I've got that. I just work families. How many can do? What's the outcome? Right.
19:15:31 County's got a role in it. What is it look like? If people are thriving and it's
19:15:42 What less worthwhile? That's all. So. I think like James, is focused.
19:15:51 Activities for engagement. So whether that's recreation. Community recreational opportunities, Perfect. Yes.
19:16:05 And, demographics. Well, we'll ask our older community that's not tied to them.
19:16:26 I think they're not. So is there something realistic that you could do to promote intergenerational interaction?
19:16:34 Or is that artificial? And we have a lot of folks that are. And I'm really removed from their families so There's I'm sure.
19:16:49 They can encourage intergenerational. Can you support families? Through.
19:17:00 Walkative, government programs or even public private programs or a way that you could interact with some of your business partners to support families or interact with some
of your other.
19:17:12 Governmental, Okay. The school, so, like, it's more and more engagement with schools, more're going to get more and more engagement with schools, we're going to, you know, it's
generational volunteering.
19:17:28 And there is a foundation in the bad. IT was dropped off during COVID.
19:17:38 And Brent still here.
19:17:43 Let's say increased. Well, we'll go on and then we can always come back to this and come up with something.
19:17:52 I am still here. Yes.
19:17:54 Oh, how's it? Impact achieve specific goals in the next 5 years.
19:18:06 I'm sorry. Okay.
19:18:06 I would say one. Okay. Oh, I would say one that we find ways for the cost of housing to decrease.
19:18:18 One is sweat equity opportunities. That's the habitat for humanity example. A second approaches.
19:18:28 To identify. High cost. Regulations. And remove them if possible.
19:18:44 Like the wildline urban interface once we're finding the, right now.
19:18:48 I know.
19:18:43 Okay. Well, once that we're able to remove. But we won't be able to unfortunately.
19:18:52 I'd also say, access. Alternative. Funding. Sources.
19:19:03 So, for example, I keep hearing from community members, they, they don't have money to build an ADU.
19:19:08 But they would do it if they had money. And so some communities have programs to facilitate that.
19:19:16 Yes. Okay, IN.
19:19:25 Say that one more time.
19:19:28 Regulate, short term rentals. Taxi, are.
19:19:32 Yeah. Yeah, that's one of those, balancing ones because, We keep from the torus.
19:19:39 You know, Yeah, right. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Let's say something. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
19:19:50 I'm saying, I'm trying to get something from Ready. Go ahead, Ryan.
19:20:02 Yeah, oh, I was just saying that that's a balance because when we brought it to the Planning Commission, some of the planning commissioners were so strongly supportive of their
being housing for the tourist sector.
19:20:04 But there's, this is recognition that We have a lot of. Airbnb's or units that are taking away from the workforce.
19:20:17 Hmm.
19:20:15 And so there's gonna be a trade off somehow.
19:20:22 So, to encourage more building, we can bring like, Yeah.
19:20:44 Yeah.
19:20:42 Another is creative zoning. We haven't used all of the different zoning tools available to us.
19:20:50 And we have a new area, the UGA. That might be a opportunity for us. And actually the Port Hatlock urban growth area.
19:21:00 They support the community line trust.
19:21:06 Okay.
19:20:59 Let me The land trust model is great. Another one, yes.
19:21:10 Maybe. And, Wave, you know, wave development, for affordable housing projects.
19:21:27 Nice.
19:21:27 Fee waivers. There's also some additional fiscal resources that the county could adopt. And, so, I have a
19:21:39 In terms of building affordable housing, is that what you're going for or?
19:21:40 Oh, well, they're based on. A, and I'd have to pull them up, but they are RCW allowed and I think some of them may require vote and others just require their council.
19:21:59 And so I think we've adopted quite a few. Got quite a few fiscal mechanisms in place, but there are a few others that we haven't.
19:22:08 So you might want to look to see if any of those that we haven't adopted are viable ones.
19:22:14 Right, and then any other funding.
19:22:22 Say that one more time, prioritize infrastructure funds for workforce housing. Okay.
19:22:31 That's a big one. Infrastructure such a critical cost.
19:22:36 Trying to interact or develop relationships with, having developers, having developers and particularly low income housing.
19:22:45 Hey, that again. Attract. Okay. Maybe frenzy, not exclusively.
19:23:00 That's a loaded statements. Not getting into the details that we have a hard time attracting. Yeah.
19:23:09 You may have already covered this, but in terms of zoning. Is there a reason to think about?
19:23:17 Restricting the size of their locks so they should give more density announcing.
19:23:29 Alright, ready to move? What cost economy? You want to know? I love that word.
19:23:37 Okay, what does a robust economy look like there? Robust economy not just for the entire environment in 5 years.
19:23:44 What's it what do you need to achieve in 5 years? Go ahead. Do we have one more previous one?
19:23:48 Yeah, thank you. It is to be the longest list. I guess investigate legislation to develop matters.
19:24:05 . Local areas of more intensive rural development. Under the Janet. Okay.
19:24:17 Local areas of more. Yeah, okay.
19:24:25 . LAMBRIDGE reform or something One. So there is a huge phone. They are brand new stickies too.
19:24:34 Okay, robust economy. What do you need to achieve? You know, there opportunities for workers to, gain skills of training.
19:24:51 And Ken County provide us. In our regional workforce, government members. Okay. Work with the city to develop a plan for
19:25:09 Can we still that GLAN code?
19:25:12 We're how about you, GA? Opposition is. Hang on. So, say it again.
19:25:19 Create, collaborate with the city.
19:25:22 Yeah.
19:25:30 Alright, got it. How do you encourage new employment? You know, The worst kinds of retail availability.
19:25:40 Rachel. It's already here. So. What can we do in there?
19:25:52 I mean, I'm already getting calls when people are interested. There. But once it's built though, like what?
19:26:11 Business friendly zone and the UGA.
19:26:15 We're on the business one now.
19:26:25 Hi, do you said business friendly what in the UGA? What was your, your business friendly?
19:26:31 Zoom zone.
19:26:43 Another area that I don't think we've touched upon is sort of the tenant landlord side of the equation for the rental sector.
19:26:45 For housing.
19:26:48 Okay.
19:26:41 Hmm. For housing? We're on an autonomy now. Okay.
19:26:56 Is it extending the sewer from the state park in the. Is that a business? Developing those landmarks and also.
19:27:11 Supporting that. Yeah. Okay.
19:27:17 Hired.
19:27:25 Yeah, and there's another component there and it actually has to do with water quality because the rate have such a strong resource in our shellfish aquaculture is finding ways
to protect the the aquaculture resources.
19:27:39 Yeah.
19:27:47 Yeah, yeah, same. Of course, yeah. So when we look at there's account in 5 years and kids that county is looking over here in 70'clock.
19:28:00 I wish we had done that so that we can be One Jackson County, what would that mean? Bronwyn, well, in the way, but I was probably right down in broadband.
19:28:11 That's what, What do you need to do with your broadband? Is it making it? Like building it out.
19:28:20 Yeah. That's 87%.
19:28:34 I mean, that's something we're gonna do with partner partner, that we're not gonna do it.
19:28:37 We're trying to add to the agriculture resources. Working lands.
19:28:44 And working. Yeah.
19:28:54 Is the county involved at all? With utility issue means related to. Rural areas. That would be water quality would be here.
19:29:06 Yeah. Okay. Anything else then for robust economy? Again, planning for where growth can happen.
19:29:18 We don't have a lot of, for manufacturing.
19:29:28 How does the county give it all, impact?
19:29:32 Wage, living wages, working wages, that support everything else. Is there anything that can do? One.
19:29:44 Thank you. Even internally. Yeah. That's the biggest impact.
19:29:57 And building and structure for business growth is something we can do. But. Making it easier for businesses to grow. Yeah.
19:30:05 And bill. Encourages, you know, Good. What does the county do to ever site advertise itself as a place where people should move and come to and thrive.
19:30:19 How does it? . Yeah, so
19:30:43 And again, recognize that these are categories, not everything that's neatly in one bucket. There's always some overlap.
19:30:54 Yeah, develop a sustainable tourism. Yeah.
19:31:06 Huh.
19:31:04 Have you mentioned the public private partnerships? Partnerships in general.
19:31:09 Yes. We have something out there about, working with other governmental entities or even private entities.
19:31:16 Yeah.
19:31:25 Alright, shall we go into the next one then? Yeah, find the resilience. In 5 years.
19:31:36 What? Good. 5, and, Could that be an electric vehicle infrastructure? And how do you do that?
19:32:00 One Yeah. Yeah.
19:32:12 Yeah.
19:32:18 For us, our forests are protected. Got it. What can you think of some, Heidi's and specific things that need to happen to and to ensure that we stay engaged.
19:32:33 And Jackson, funny. And we encourage. Active working or the enforced economy. And.
19:32:48 Yeah. Okay. I'm hiding, tell me what you just said about, hiding, tell me what you just said about, the active aspect, of course.
19:33:00 That we have an active working forest economy.
19:33:10 And then, thanks. What does that mean? So instead of cutting down trees, you sell them, value of the special part of your office.
19:33:27 Can you do me another way? We're big projects.
19:33:35 Account for that, they're drawing, they can pay for. We can collect apartment. The water quality credits.
19:33:48 They're sold for natural lands. The water quality credits they're sold for natural logs to cook the water.
19:33:50 Are there any land use restrictions? That you have like the water quality credits, are there any land use restrictions, that you have like, the wave that would enhance environment.
19:33:56 Are there any stream protections that you need to have in place that aren't there now or are there something you need to?
19:34:02 Waves. I think we do a pretty good job. I don't know. I think we do a pretty good job with that. I'm okay.
19:34:16 You know, so, a tactical one that the, 4 to 4 task was working on. It's just, so, a tactical one that the 4 to 4 task was working on.
19:34:19 It's just, Do you walk or? Plan for quickly structure on our shorelines, generally. Good, good, good words.
19:34:33 I'm just thinking,
19:34:58 Are there any emergency management things that you need to be thinking in terms of, the environment for this.
19:34:58 So, So you got your plan, can you do well higher protection plan?
19:35:07 Let me fully stand. That's something. Just certain planning. Okay.
19:35:17 Our neighborhoods are in. And they're prepped in prep. It's in the neighborhood protection planning process.
19:35:26 Okay. Okay. Okay. We're not repeating.
19:35:40 So it's already in the columns. I got that. Yeah. Okay, yeah, we're trying to we're trying to capture things that haven't already been put up here.
19:35:47 Okay. Alright, you want to move to organizational health? Not.
19:36:04 Okay.
19:36:09 So this is home, man. This is what we need to do. What will you accomplish in the next 5 years?
19:36:14 Not a lot of description under this. Increasing wages.
19:36:23 How are your benefits?
19:36:26 There's a lot of places who we can't afford good, support training opportunities.
19:36:38 Yeah, and career. Leadership policies.
19:36:53 Thank you. No.
19:37:03 Yeah, definitely.
19:37:06 There. Yep.
19:37:13 What is it? Right.
19:37:26 Okay. I think we may have something like that appear in terms of the. Okay.
19:37:38 And so that means. That connectivity. Between offices, departments kind of breaking down the physical distance space that's the problem.
19:37:59 Work that may happen between the department. I think. Connected to what they are providing. Right.
19:38:20 Is there. Good. The human resource option.
19:38:29 Is there. A goal to achieve. Some pre-intivating and, the government work so that somebody can go one department to another where work is more prioritized at this time.
19:38:45 I think, something, something different, and then go back.
19:38:53 Hmm, . And. We're not allowed to. What is that? So, are you saying something different than I'm thinking of perks. Are you saying something different than I'm thinking of perks?
19:39:22 Or you're, they're, public employee, you know.
19:39:30 One of the Okay. Kind of engagement. Providing training for. Or Good morning.
19:40:17 . Yeah, it's not too late. It's only 17. It's only 17.
19:40:26 12 questions. They're really relevant. Dallas and tracking this for a very long time. And they' in on 12 things that, in order for them to be engaged.
19:40:43 It's actually money is usually one of the last things. I can't remember if I put this on one of my things, but I think like flexible.
19:41:04 Yeah, and flexible work in general, which is also family friendly.
19:41:13 Oh, No, Alright, other things you need to do internally for the organization. It's still easy to like.
19:41:44 I don't know to shine any other town person or ask anybody. So like actually.
19:41:51 For that. Sorry, Chris. You know, It's not.
19:42:15 Yes, Yeah. Thank you. But, really, cause it's like, 3 million. Survey over a couple of decades.
19:42:36 I know what's expected from some work. So, about what I'm here for, what I'm supposed to do.
19:42:46 Now you are going to. Materials and equipment I need, right. Okay. So you give me tools.
19:42:59 You have created the opportunities for me to do my work well. And can I interject here? Because one of the things that I heard a lot of was improved.
19:43:05 Information technology. That infrastructure. Is that something that you guys put up here for? I don't know.
19:43:22 Yeah. So this goes to one of the 3 intrinsic motivators that is absolutely, by decades of science.
19:43:34 Yeah, Okay. That's about me getting to be the best at what I do, okay? The intrinsic driver.
19:43:45 Number 4, in the last 7 days, I received recognition or praise for doing good work. That means so much.
19:43:54 Good. My supervisor or someone at work seems to care about me as a person. Okay, so my supervisor talks to me.
19:44:09 They show, they share. At work my opinion seems to count so there's an environment here where I'm asked for my opinion and my opinion is regarded.
19:44:20 There is someone at work who encourages my developments. The mission or purpose, okay, so this is about purpose.
19:44:29 That's another one of the intrinsic motivators. The mission or purpose of my company or workplace makes me feel like my job is important.
19:44:37 That's that one's really called out in service too. My associates or fellow employees are committed to doing quality work.
19:44:47 So the underlying piece of that one is that for performers are not allowed to stick around. I have a best friend at work.
19:44:56 Now we get questions about that one all the time. That means if there's that doesn't mean it might be your best friend in personal life.
19:45:04 There's someone that you really connect with that work that supports you and that you feel that support. If you go to that person any time you need support.
19:45:11 In the last 6 months, some of it was talk to me about my progress. Regular performance feedback.
19:45:20 Coaching and this last year I had opportunities at work.
19:45:27 This is what drives, engagement. And a lot of these things are within your control. You can build things in your work culture and your environment and your practices that support
these things.
19:45:44 And a lot of what we've talked about in terms of this is also related to line employees.
19:45:49 Is there anything special you need to do for your managers? Or your directors. Everyone. Well, I understand that.
19:46:00 I understand that. I understand that. But, I would I think it's out of the.
19:46:07 Every person.
19:46:14 I was born into the manager, right? You know, I'll Yeah, Okay, I think it's, opportunities for fun.
19:46:33 You know, like, I don't know, I think we had a lot of fun and brave and it's just like, and I, I always have money, but it's still little things that we do together and it's
fun for us, but also project something to the community.
19:46:50 When we're there doing so a little bit. Opportunities for that. Yeah, Hmm. Don't often get to see that they are Yeah, I'm sorry.
19:47:33 I was just gonna say, something to consider. Just to make sure we built this list out enough the third intrinsic motivator So how, what can you do in the work culture to create
more?
19:47:46 I recognize maybe a little bit harder in government, right? Cause there's regulations in this policy, it might work.
19:47:57 You know, yeah, there are ways that she could promote it. That is the training. Through that.
19:48:10 That works for
19:48:20 Think you do things around just the soft care for your employees. Bye. Is there a you contract that Okay.
19:48:56 Okay. Development, Hmm.
19:49:15 Oh, recently. Alright, how are you feeling about the brainstorm of the?
19:49:25 Since it's There's a lot there to work with and will be. Typing all of this up and bringing it in to the meeting on Friday.
19:49:41 Not sure. It's not ready weekend. So I'm just gonna work off of I'll just tell you.
19:50:01 I think. Yeah, I don't. Okay. Not that much.
19:50:24 I think there's only a couple of slides on. Hello. Alright, so, let me know how we're going to get from where we are.
19:50:43 Yes. Take the, take the, for the session. Saying what you like about it, say what didn't work, what would you need to do and say what didn't work, what, what, what, what, what
would you need to be differently next time Don't be afraid to get a
19:51:08 So what do you think? About this,. Yeah, about what we just did. Well, I really like that it wasn't too
19:51:18 And there was, popcorn activity and energy and. It wasn't like, now, we did that, and I've got to do this, you know.
19:51:29 And then I can, I felt like you were, you were, You had a sense of architecture but we were.
19:51:38 We don't like you have to worry about the architecture. Yeah. Our job is to try to get your best thinking.
19:51:45 And take it forward. Good day then. Not being part of all of that. And I can't, but it also.
19:52:01 Okay.
19:52:11 Yeah, no, I think what I, what I. Got the most out of was hearing from other people in the room.
19:52:19 It's just 3 of us talking. So I would prefer more. And I think we work collaboratively more than most organizations do. So I would prefer more. And I think we work collaboratively
more than most organizations do.
19:52:29 So it's, unusual to be sitting here Yeah, maybe. We wouldn't have all of you together in the room together.
19:52:38 All at once and it would seem a lot longer, which find that okay. But I think what will happen, they got to hear everything and this is not anywhere near each product.
19:52:53 So they're going to take this general guidance that you provided. With some specifics to it and.
19:52:59 Saying, wow, I really like that. And this is what we could do about that. And as I said, later on, find this and layer it on and then bring it back to We got much more down
than a hobby.
19:53:15 That is the benefit of doing this. Okay. There's no perfect way to do this. So that's the kind of, yeah.
19:53:23 That your data except not really good. IS and everything we're coming in with so we've got laying the foundation for this work and I endured this process.
19:53:34 I was a little that's a, about trying to craft an actual, mission and vision statement today.
19:53:50 Well, what you're gonna find is that this work on Friday, this is always the case. They're gonna start cracking some really cool language.
19:54:01 You guys didn't do that. Yeah. That. Good morning.
19:54:21 This will come together at the end in okay, that is. I will be true, you know, collaboratively, doesn't feel like, That's the process.
19:54:32 It works. Other feedback. So critique, what didn't work well. So those are things that work well, didn't work well that you would like you would like to change.
19:54:42 At the end of the line. Which to be on for a full day so to be on for a second full day.
19:55:03 I give you guys ton of credit for how you' in here and we never done it at this time of day.
19:55:07 We typically don't. We just do it at the beginning of the day. But Yeah. Thank you guys for great job.
19:55:20 You gave it to Jennifer Mesh and did just as well as Good on you for sticking with it.
19:55:26 Without smiling. And thanks to Caroline and everyone else. And any other things you would take? We'll ask, we'll ask.
19:55:44 DAFF, for there for chief on Friday, It kind of wish you had totally done this together.
19:55:47 So, got it. Yeah, my would come up with me. I dealt with a group like this.
19:55:54 Yes, And I did like seeing the light. You know, Okay, So I think this is. Yeah, one success factor for us is like.
19:56:18 Strategic planning should not be like a root canal. And that's all of every person that we talk to has had a
19:56:36 Yeah.
19:56:41 Yeah, So. So, here, do you have any expectations you would like to convey to us as consultants and staff as we go into Friday, taking all of this work, where they and I will
drop some stuff, but we'll also give them every single word that got put up on the wall here.
19:56:59 Can you just come back with the things for the having show? Yeah.
19:57:16 And when you want us to do. Paying attention to or considering. Anybody? Just.
19:57:33 With the staff survey we did this but really trying to like I try to always remind myself that there people who are not don't feel empowered.
19:57:42 Who don't make a lot of money who struggle who are part of this organization. Just if we can try to keep those people in like it's easy when you're in leadership position to
forget the reality.
19:57:57 And to get caught up in big off the ideas, like the day to day for most people who live here, some people who work here.
19:58:04 Sounds, keep it real. I think it's gonna be really important in the organizational health strategic priority to put a in there that employees look at and say, yeah.
19:58:17 They heard me. Yeah, they care about me. Yeah, they're trying to make my work environment better.
19:58:23 So. And the show will send you those those things that she read. That made a big difference to people.
19:58:39 You don't make a lot of money. Hello, That's always gonna be.
19:58:51 Alright, thanks for being here. Not a Go on. Okay. Sorry.
19:59:15 You're gonna bring back from that session and probably have a couple of additional follow ups with staff after they do their session and we're gonna have the objectives and
the phone measures, those, those take some fine change. So we'll do that work.
19:59:34 We will come back to you. With a draft that we walk you through and work session. And that draft is basically just gonna be still a word document because.
19:59:44 You may see some things there that you're like, you step back and you think, oh wow, we missed this or I'm still not sure that's the right direction.
19:59:53 So you'll have that ability. Yeah, the ability to ask, details about what they were thinking.
19:59:58 Why didn't you write that objective? Haven't that work session be a true work session and then we'll take the guidance from there and develop it.
20:00:08 That final published document that you'll be proud to communicate to your community members that you'll be proud to communicate to your community members that you'll be proud
as commissioners to.
20:00:17 Run for Amazon, right? Seriously. And that will the plan will be actionable. So that staff know what they need to do and I'll know that they have what they need to be successful.
20:00:28 So, That's great. We like to adjourn. I, yes, I will adjourn this special meeting.
