Strategic Plan: Community Dashboard
The City’s Strategic Plan is a working, living document that reflects the policy direction of the Castle Pines City Council and guides City staff’s efforts to ensure progress and measurable results. The City of Castle Pines is an organization with a strong commitment to transparency. In recognition of this commitment, this community dashboard was developed to track the advancement of City Council priorities in five categories: mantain roads, community safety, financial health, development, and business health.
The progress of each section of the community dashboard is determined by averaging two to five individual metrics.
Review the 2024-2025 Strategic Plan for more information on City Council’s priorities.
Development of Strategic Plan & Performance Indicators
Each year, City Council holds a retreat to conduct a strategic planning process based on the City’s adopted Vision, Mission, and Key Focus Areas. The City Council retreat results in Strategic Goals, Key Focus Areas, and additional policy direction to guide staff in day-to-day operations. This guides the development of the City’s Strategic Plan. Staff is tasked with executing City Council’s direction by creating an implementation plan. To help execute the Strategic Plan, outcomes and dashboard metrics are created.
The Community Dashboard evaluates progress on the most important City projects. To communicate the progress for these projects, five dashboard indicators were created. Within each dashboard, two to five related data sets demonstrate the progress of important projects.
For more information, please select each dashboard indicator above.
Strategic Plan Achievements
At the close of each year, the City will develop a summary of achievements related to the Strategic Plan. You can access the following prior City achievements below.
