Strategic Plan 2014-2016

Strategic Plan Updates
The Village of Roselle engaged in a strategic planning process over three separate sessions facilitated by Northern Illinois University Center for Governmental Studies during the fall of 2013. The three meetings, which included the Mayor, Board of Trustees, and Village department heads, yielded a strategic plan for the three-year period 2014-2016. The full Strategic Plan and Summary Report as presented to the Village Board by the Northern Illinois University Center for Governmental Studies is available for download (PDF). The strategic plan consists of a set of four strategic priorities, which are the highest priority issues for the next three years; a series of key outcome indicators, which describe desired outcomes and success measures; and a list of strategic initiatives, which define the actions that will be taken to ensure successful effort.
