Each December, the City Commission holds a Strategic Planning Session. Mr. Mike Abels, retired City Manager of DeLand and an instructor at UCF and Stetson University, has prepared an overview of the agenda for both days. Mr. Abels will be coordinating the first day for development of shorter-term 2019/2020 strategic goals by the Commission as the public policy body. On the Second day, regional futurist Joe Tankersley will be with the Commission for a half day. Mr. Tankersley presented at the September CCR Meeting and was well received. The Commission will be looking toward 2030 on Friday with a long-term horizon and consider an update to the previous community visioning completed by Rebecca Ryan, for a 2030 Visioning Process.
