Local Issue #S-Mission Statement- Define/Describe the Issue. How does the past compare to the present with respect to the issue? How was the issue treated in the existing plan? The City of Sunny Isles Beach both recognize and believe that because of changing conditions and continued pressure for redevelopment that have occurred over the last five years, as well as the need for maintaining City operations at a high level, it needs to take a leadership role in the formulation of an strategic plan as a component of their budget plans, including a mission statement consistent with the "Vision of the City" as stated in the Comprehensive Plan. The City of Sunny Isles Beach has made good progress in carrying out the Community Vision Statement of the 2000 Comprehensive Plan. The Plan has a vision statement for the entire city, which represents a consensus view of residents, property owners, businesses and civic organizations. The Plan's vision was developed around three key principles which provided a context for development and change. The key principles include: 1) Strengthening a sense of community through better integrated and enhanced services to its residents, visitors, property owners and businesses; 2) Protecting and enhancing the City's coastal resources through improved access, increased amenities for public use and recreation of natural environmental conditions along the beaches and shorelines that embrace the community; 3) Promoting economic opportunity and security through a strategic revitalization of the hospitality and service industries that form the core of the City's economic base. Identify the impacts of the issue Assess whether the objectives of the plan that relate to the issue have been achieved. List the objectives in each element of the plan that relate to the issue (matrix format is recommended) . The City will continue to face the challenge of rebuilding existing structures without having a detrimental impact on the overall levels of services and facilities. Managed growth enhances not only the tax base but the quality of life for the residents, businesses and visitors in the City. Including a mission statement for the City will bring positive impacts and result in amendments to the various elements of the Comprehensive Plan, particularly the Capital Improvement Element, ICE and Infrastructure Element. For the City to succeed, it must meet the needs of the citizens it serves. The strategic planning effort should be flexible enough to be modified because the future often turns out to be different than originally expected. Continuous updates and revisions should take new priorities, opportunities and needs into account. City of Sunny Isles Beach - 2005 Evaluation and Appraisal Report Rev. 9/15/2005 Page 18
