(as adopted on September 21, 2009 and amended on October 19, 2009 and on December 14, 2009)
- Purpose
The purpose of the Strategic Planning Committee is to gather and analyze information to produce a Strategic Plan that articulates the vision, mission, and goals of the Library District based on state standards; the community's needs, expectations, and resources; staff input; and current and future library philosophies and technology.
- Responsibilities
- The Committee will identify and recommend to the Board for approval the engagement of a facilitator with expertise in developing strategic plans for community libraries or library districts.
- By the February 15, 2010 regular Board meeting, the Committee will develop and present to the Board for approval a process, with timetable, for developing the strategic plan.
- The Committee will follow the approved strategic planning process and develop and recommend a strategic plan to the Board that will include a vision and mission statement, long-range goals, and strategies for achieving these goals. As appropriate, the Committee will recommend modifications to the planning process to the Board for its approval.
- Members
The Committee shall be comprised of the Library director, four library staff members and five community members. The Library Director shall be the Committee Chairman. In addition, two Trustees shall be participating, but non-voting, members.
- Meetings
The Committee shall operate under the Illinois Open Meetings Act. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum of the Committee.
- Communications with the Board
The Committee Chairman will update the Board of Trustees on the status of the strategic planning process at the regular Board meetings. The strategic planning process will identify opportunities for the Board and for individual Trustees to provide input in the development of the strategic plan.
- Limitations
The Committee will not have authority to spend library district funds or to implement policies or plans without the Board's approval. The Committee will present proposals from its recommended project consultants to the Board for approval.
