What about our high school graduation rates? 381 00:31:57,991 --> 00:32:03,458 How about our cost of living? How did we do compared to our strategic plan? 382 00:32:03,458 --> 00:32:05,061 What's the plan? Well, 383 00:32:05,061 --> 00:32:09,654 we couldn't answer that because we don't have a strategic plan. 384 00:32:09,654 --> 00:32:15,194 So what I would encourage is this body to adopt a countywide strategic plan. 385 00:32:15,194 --> 00:32:20,588 A budget isn't a strategic plan. I've been a CFO for 30 years. It's great. 386 00:32:20,588 --> 00:32:23,795 We need it. But that's not a strategic plan. 387 00:32:23,795 --> 00:32:29,335 A strategic plan defines what kind of county we want Murray County to be and 388 00:32:29,335 --> 00:32:34,437 establishes measurable goals to determine whether we're getting there. 389 00:32:34,437 --> 00:32:39,102 Economic, education, infrastructure, public safety, all of that. 390 00:32:39,102 --> 00:32:43,184 Choose the metrics, publish them, measure them annually, 391 00:32:43,184 --> 00:32:48,870 and give commissioners and citizens a meaningful way to evaluate our progress. 392 00:32:48,870 --> 00:32:53,316 Second, you heard prioritize the comprehensive land use plan. 393 00:32:53,316 --> 00:32:57,836 It's important to know what the vision of our land looks like. 394 00:32:57,836 --> 00:33:00,605 That informs the rest of our strategy. 395 00:33:00,605 --> 00:33:06,364 And third, I would ask you to establish a North Star for farmland preservation. 396 00:33:06,364 --> 00:33:12,487 If we don't preserve our farmland and all of our decisions look through that lens of 397 00:33:12,487 --> 00:33:17,152 farmland preservation, we're not going to recognize this county. 398 00:33:17,152 --> 00:33:19,849 Well, we actually might recognize it, 399 00:33:19,849 --> 00:33:23,567 and no offense to the good citizens of Spring Hill, 400 00:33:23,567 --> 00:33:26,482 but it's going to look like Spring Hill. 401 00:33:26,482 --> 00:33:31,220 And, and there is just as concerned as the rest of the county is. 402 00:33:31,220 --> 00:33:36,177 So I would just ask, get a strategic plan, choose your measurements, 403 00:33:36,177 --> 00:33:39,530 and use it to guide your decisions. Thank you. 404 00:33:39,530 --> 00:33:44,872 Thank you. Anyone else might like to make— I can't get rid of you. 405 00:33:44,872 --> 00:33:48,490 Well, Theresa asked me if I was going to join the 3-minute club, 406 00:33:48,490 --> 00:33:52,616 so this is my initiation. Mr. Chairman, congratulations on your election. 407 00:33:52,616 --> 00:33:57,251 My name is Eric Privetti.

And so— 423 00:34:47,896 --> 00:34:48,104 Thank you. 424 00:34:48,507 --> 00:34:50,939 I'm on this side now.
