Mission and Objectives

Mission

• Build and enhance services by the City departments

through creativity, collaboration and coordination and addressing the specific needs and characteristics of each district throughout Spokane under the umbrella of the City’s Strategic Plan – Innovative Infrastructure, Safe and Healthy Communities, Urban Development and Sustainable Resources. Program Objectives

• Using district teams, resources, program goals and the City’s Strategic Plan

collaborate on opportunities to produce outcomes that may not exist within current structures and communication pathways;

• Engage community stakeholders most familiar with the challenges and that

can contribute to the outcomes of the Strategic Plan;

• Develop district strategies in line with the strategic plan to achieve

measurable positive outcomes by end-of-year 2019

Delivering City Service through a District Model

Districts are Unique – The City recognizes that the unique needs of each district matter. The City must be prepared to understand and respond to the complex nature of challenges that face our neighborhoods. Challenges like property crime, substandard housing, low wages and poor health cannot be solved by any one program or agency. Coordination of Services Tailored to Districts – Overcoming these challenges means coordinating services between City departments, service agencies, the private sector, faith

• rganizations and educational institutions to address the specific needs and characteristics of

each district. District Teams to Work with Community – The teams will be responsible for working with a panel

• f community stakeholders from each district to prioritize projects, set goals and coordinate the

response of City services to meet project needs. Tracking Progress – Progress in achieving goals will be tracked and reported on a quarterly basis to the Mayor and City Council district representatives.
