CHIEF'S MESSAGE <br /> -4 <br /> O <br /> December 2012 O <br /> On behalf of the City of Elk River, Fire Service Task <br /> Force, I am extremely pleased to present the Elk River O <br /> Fire Department's 2013-2017 Strategic Plan. This plan is Z <br /> the culmination of many months of hard work. The Fire • <br /> Service Task Force, composed of elected officials, city <br /> staff, department leadership and firefighters, brings forth , <br /> a compressive plan that will serve as a guide for the 1a <br /> future. ‘a <br /> Throughout history, America's fire service has been <br /> f. <br /> constantly evolving to meet the growing needs of the <br /> communities in which they service. As we look to the <br /> future, we recognize that, as an organization, we must e <br /> proactively respond to change by collaborating on new fer _ <br /> ideas, identifying areas for improvement and developing <br /> viable solutions for the problems of today and in the years to come. <br /> This plan is designed to provide decision makers at all levels —within the department <br /> and beyond —with a living, breathing five year planning document for the basis of <br /> making strategic, long-range decisions. The plan provides us with clear direction, <br /> priorities, and a focus on continuing to provide excellent service to our community. <br /> As an organization, we stand committed to accepting the challenge of cultivating these <br /> strategic initiatives into reality. Over the course of these next five years, fire <br /> department staff will strive to accomplish the objectives that support each of the goals <br /> and initiatives as outlined in this plan. <br /> We will continue to monitor progress and will communicate our success to our <br /> stakeholders. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> rda <br /> T.John Cunningham, Fire Chief <br /> City of Elk River <br /> '@a i ,u is (�k g12y +i + L '.e h <br />
