Strategic Planin progress
The Strategic Plan topic spans multiple distinct but interrelated planning efforts across City of Fairfax municipal bodies. At the city-wide level, the existing 2023 strategic plan framework was reviewed at the January 2026 City Council Retreat, where Assistant City Manager Melanie Zipp presented a proposal for a new city-wide plan; Council provided feedback on direction, public engagement, scope, governance, equity, and strategic priorities, but took no formal action.
- No formal Council action was taken at the January 2026 City Council Retreat on the new city-wide strategic plan — the scope, timeline, public engagement model, and governance structure remain to be…
- The tiered performance management process described to Council is expected to launch in late 2026 or into 2027, following the efficiency initiative — timing and structure are not yet finalized.
