CITY OF ENCINITAS 2023-24 STRATEGIC PLANNING FRAMEWORK

Each year, the City Council reviews its priorities for the year at its annual Council Retreat. A Council priority is defined as a topic that will receive significant attention and budget consideration during the year. Typically, priorities have a one to three-year time limit, although some may continue beyond that time.

On Tuesday, February 14, 2023, the City Council selected the following elements to include as the categories for its highest priorities:
