Otsego County TSP Committee Meeting 6/23/2026

The Otsego County Technology Strategic Planning Committee met on June 23, 2026, to discuss updates and challenges related to the county's strategic planning process using the ClearPlan platform. The committee focused on refining priority outcomes and essential activities for the Board of Representatives, aiming to shift from a one-year to a multi-year (three-year) planning horizon to better align with department goals and reduce administrative burden. They also discussed the integration of strategic planning with the budget process, particularly the concept of "current service levels" tied to budget allocations, though this approach faced resistance and implementation challenges. The committee emphasized the need for clearer, measurable goals and better engagement from department heads, as well as the importance of quarterly updates and public transparency through ClearPlan. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were made, but the discussion touched on policy and procedural improvements that could impact future budgeting and resource allocation.
