1 City of Mill Valley STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS PLAN June 2014 PURPOSE The strategic communications plan is designed to identify goals and strategies to effectively communicate with community members, drive the development of internal communications policies, and improve the overall effectiveness of the City in meeting the needs of the community. This plan will lay the foundation for future policies and programs and will be a dynamic document reviewed and updated annually in response to ongoing assessment and evaluation. BACKGROUND In 2013, the City Manager appointed a group of staff representatives of all City departments to convene in a Communications Committee to assess the City s needs for better internal and external communications. Despite employing a wide variety of communications strategies to reach intended audiences, the Committee agreed that significant room for improvement in City communications efforts exists. Though the needs of each department vary and the purposes for outreach may at times be disparate, there is full agreement that there is a need to improve coordinated, targeted, and timely communications and outreach solutions. The Communications Committee made a number of recommendations to the City Manager to improve citywide communications. Some of these recommendations included an update of the current City website, a coordinated internal computer hardware/software upgrade, a unified social media strategy, and enhanced attention to improved quality, responsiveness and branding of all City of Mill Valley communications. In order to enact these recommendations, the Committee suggested the need for additional staff/ personnel resources and the development of a comprehensive communications strategy. In January of this year, the City Council held a strategic planning retreat and endorsed the initiative to expand our focus and commitment to communication. The Council included implementing an improved comprehensive communication strategy as one of its Priority Projects, again highlighting its importance. In March 2014, the City Manager created a Communications Group to achieve the goals set by City Council and the Communications Committee by developing internal staff resources as well as contracting professional services. The Communications Group was created to further evaluate, recommend, design, and implement internal and external communications solutions, as well as the development of a Strategic Communications Plan.

A strategic approach to the City s communications will ensure we are reaching more people, engaging more stakeholders and operating in a more open and transparent manner, and will lay the groundwork for excellence in communications for many years to come. Next steps in the process include policy and program development, implementation and training, assessment and evaluation, and ongoing updates and revisions to the plan to achieve our stated outcomes. 16 Strategic Communications Plan
