V.D Annual adoption of the Lee County Government Strategic Plan for 2022 -2027 Communications Specialist Hailey Hall provided a summary of changes to the Strategic Plan discussed at the Board Retreat on January 27th along with a couple of proposed changes, a copy of the summary is attached to these minutes. Sheryl Trent, consultant with SBrand, is in the process of incorporating changes made to the Strategic Plan and will provide a finalized copy pending any changes made by the Board. Over the last six months, the Strategic Plan has been reviewed by staff and the Board and updated based on the input received. Under Arts and Culture, a new objective was proposed by staff based on the Board's discussion at the Retreat and the suggested objective under Goal 1, states: "Assist in the expansion of spaces that promote local artists and makers." Commissioner Carver proposed a new objective under Goal 1 of Partnerships. Commissioner Carver said he believed the change is recommended because there are issues that ethnic and racial groups are concerned about in the county as is evidenced by the Task Force report received by the Board at the last meeting. County Manager John Crumpton indicated he has not received a lot of complaints in this regard from the public or employees, however it does not mean they are not received by the Board. The Task Force report was a City project. Staff was uncertain if the data presented was representative of the unincorporated areas, although the three topics that were presented by the Task Force to the Commissioners are items they felt the County had responsibility for. Dr. Crumpton said the Board would need to give guidance on the kind of data they would like staff to collect and review, and there are some benchmarks out there that other groups are already reviewing that could be used to develop data for the Board to review. Besides Census data, no other data is currently collected. Commissioner Reives expressed he did not have any objections to the language presented for the objective, but was concerned about how it would be implemented. Commissioner Carver recommended talking to Central Carolina Community College stating that they have a sophisticated way of collecting information on these issues in a form that's called disaggregated, which looks at information about their population and separating them into different racial and ethnic groups. This form gives them insight as to what the performance factors are doing. Commissioner Carver noted that the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners has provided information related to what is going on in different counties related to these issues.
