Seabrook postpones vote on strategic four year plan

Seabrook officials are collaborating on a strategic plan to guide the city’s development and initiatives over the next four years.  

City Council was scheduled to vote on whether to adopt the plan at its Nov. 3 meeting, but ultimately decided to postpone making the decision.

The details

The proposed plan outlines municipal goals organized into six strategic focus areas, including:

• Organizational excellence

• Fiscal stewardship and transparency

• Infrastructure and community investment

• Economic development and sustainable growth

• Communication, engagement and public trust

• Quality of life

Meeting highlights

Seabrook City Council voted 6-1 at its Nov. 3 meeting to postpone approval of the proposed four-year strategic plan to allow for further review prior to formal adoption.

Council member Angela Cervantes voted against postponing the vote.

Council member Melanie Deemer asked for more time to compare the plan city staff proposed with notes taken at a planning retreat the council attended in July.

Next steps

The vote will be postponed until an upcoming Nov. 27 meeting, Mayor Jim Sweeney said.
