Mr. Kevin O'Rourke Page 5 Activity 2: Obtain Stakeholder Input Next, we will obtain stakeholder input both from the community and from employees. The purpose of the stakeholder input will be to hear opinions about the future vision for the City and strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT). Options for stakeholder engagement include community forums, focus groups of community members, focus groups of employees, workshop(s) with the City's management team, and on-line surveys for community members and employees. We will create specific options for this engagement that will be within the scope of the fee proposal described below, and will discuss those options with the subcommittee. Once we complete the stakeholder engagement component, we will consolidate the input received and prepare a summary document. The results will be presented in the strategic planning workshop described in Activity 5.
