Introduction

The City of Maryland Heights Department of Public Works vision is to be a well-respected organization

considered a model public works department. To achieve this vision, we will provide superior municipal

services through teamwork, professionalism, and hard work while offering innovative solutions to resolve

challenges. This vision was created through a process developed to encourage employee participation at

all levels and serves as a guideline for department planning and operations.

The use of the words “teamwork”, “professionalism”, and “hard work” to describe the department’s vision

accurately depicts the culture fostered within the organization. The Strategic Plan takes those fostered

values and provides a planned course of action for the department to follow in order to achieve its vision.

Great pride is taken in putting forward the necessary work and effort required to complete the

department’s goals and objectives while doing so in a team-oriented/professional manner.

The American Public Works Association (APWA) acknowledges the value and importance of strategic

planning by requiring a strategic plan as part of their nationally recognized accreditation process. A

strategic plan builds credibility and further establishes a department’s reputation as a model organization.

The Strategic Plan provided establishes department goals, objectives, and level of service required to

effectively provide services to the residents and businesses of Maryland Heights while adhering to

department and city-wide mission, vision, and values.

Progress Monitoring and Plan Documentation/Process

Progress Monitoring:

A critical component to strategic planning is the monitoring and reporting of progress in regards to

achievement of identified goals and objectives. The strategic planning process adopted through

development of this plan utilizes a reporting system that allows the department to monitor goals and

objectives, on an annual basis, in order to encourage progress and report on the previous year’s

accomplishments. Annual plan updates will be provided in close coordination with the budget preparation

process.

Level of service is also monitored as part of the strategic planning process in order to plan for and

anticipate future service needs. Significant changes in level of service may require review to determine

the need for allocation or reallocation of resources. Through level of service monitoring the department is

able to review its operational capabilities and services. The process for review of department operational

capabilities and services is accomplished through the overall monitoring and documentation of the

strategic plan in combination with the budget preparation process.

Plan Documentation/Process:

The strategic plan is developed and updated annually under the direction of the Director of Public Works.

As designated by the Director, department staff shall be responsible for the update, maintenance, and

subsequent developments of the Strategic Plan.

Staff will work with the Director of Public Works and Division Managers to annually update department

goals, objectives, and level of service expectations. This will provide opportunity for the department to

review its operational capabilities and services while making adjustments as determined appropriate.

Updating of the strategic plan will be provided in close coordination with the budget preparation process

in order to ensure operational needs are accounted for within budgetary planning. Once updated and

approved by the Director of Public Works, the Strategic Plan will be distributed as designated by the

Director and made available to all department employees.

Relationship to City-Wide Planning Process

City-wide mission, vision, and core values statements, along with city-wide strategic goals, are listed

within the Community and Organizational Profile section of this plan. All department goals have a direct

correlation to a corresponding city-wide strategic goal. The correlating city-wide strategic goal is denoted

as “Guidance” underneath each department goal listed. City-wide strategic goals are updated every five

(5) years by the Mayor and City Council.

Department goals, objectives, and levels of service are also included within the Public Works Program

Budget. Relation of these strategic planning items to the department budget establishes a system, in

combination with the budget preparation process, in which the cost of providing individual services and

service levels are determined.
