DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On February 6, 2024, Legistar File 24-0260, the Board approved revised Resolution 014-2024, Improvements to the County’s Development Review Process. The objectives of the Planning and Building Department (Department), Economic Development and Administration Division (Division), are to oversee, manage, track, develop, and implement departmental process improvements, including TRAKiT implementation improvements. This includes streamlining operations, creating efficiencies, and spearheading the new County Economic Development Strategy, developing and directing the implementation of goals, objectives, work standards, and policies and procedures. The objective is also to involve continuous monitoring and evaluation of the efficiency and effectiveness of service delivery methods and procedures, and assessing and monitoring work distribution, support systems, and internal reporting relationships.

This presentation and accompanied attachments summarize the Department’s plan for Process Improvements.

The Division intends to report back in February of 2025 with a comprehensive report on the assessment of the development review process, a description of the meaningful metrics the Department intends to use to measure progress, recommendations for process, policy, organizational, leadership, and cultural improvements necessary for better program delivery, any changes or accomplishments made, and progress towards new goals using our metrics. Following this report, the Department intends to report to the Board on our continued progress with updates in August 2025 and February 2026.
