COMMUNITY-DRIVEN STRATEGIC PLAN PROPOSAL
THE CPSE® DIFFERENCE
The mission of the Center for Public Safety Excellence® is: "To lead the fire and emergency service to
excellence through the continuous quality improvement process of
accreditation, credentialing, and education."
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a
By teaching, coaching, guiding, and advising, CPSE's Technical day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him
Advisor Program (TAP) strives to provide agencies the tools to for a lifetime.
internalize continuous quality improvement and thereby achieve excellence.
TAP places great importance on thorough preparation for each project including:
• A clear understanding of the agency's background, goals and objectives, and the complex issues
they are facing,
• A workplan that is comprehensive, well designed, and provides ample opportunity for stakeholder
input,
• Sufficient resources and a commitment to successfully complete the project within the desired
time frame at a reasonable cost, and
• A commitment to support the agency after the Strategic Plan is adopted.
TAP uses contemporary methods and enlists energetic and positive individuals to help facilitate agency
work. Our advisors personalize their approach and garner candid feedback from stakeholders while
putting stakeholders at ease. The end result is a truly strategic rather than tactical plan.
SCOPE
The purpose of a strategic plan is to identify and provide a process that envisions the future by
accomplishing organizational visions. A well-crafted strategic plan, guided by good management, and
executed by committed personnel will translate to improved effectiveness, efficiency, and better quality of
services being delivered. CPSE believes the most successful strategic planning efforts involve both internal
and external stakeholders.
The Community-Driven Strategic Plan Facilitation process typically takes 60 to 90 days and includes:
• Utilization of previously gathered community feedback on community expectations, concerns,
and priorities,
• A three-day, in-person work session with agency stakeholders to integrate community feedback
into their mission,vision, and values, and
• A professionally formatted and published document encompassing strategic initiatives, goals,
objectives, critical tasks, and performance measures.
Expected outcomes include a strategic plan that will:
• Address the organization's mission,vision, and values
• Be achievable,measurable, and responsive to changing community needs
• Be easily reviewed and modified to meet the changing internal and external needs of the agency
• Build upon community partnerships and enhance the ability to harmonize the goals of the agency
with the community's identified needs
• Encourage and embrace involvement,participation, and teamwork
• Establish strategic initiatives

CONSUMER DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Bozeman(we,us or Company)may be required by law to provide to
you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the DocuSign, Inc.
(DocuSign) electronic signing system. Please read the information below carefully and
thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to
these terms and conditions,please confirm your agreement by clicking the `I agree' button at the
bottom of this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send
to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after signing session and, if you
elect to create a DocuSign signer account, you may access them for a limited period of time
(usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to
send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a
$0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the
procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign `Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of a
DocuSign envelope instead of signing it. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your
consent to receive required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer
be able to use the DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from
us or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made
available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you
inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure,we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process,please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.
