A Note from the Executive Director

Kyle Bodyfelt, Executive Director, and the Strategic Planning Team

The strategic planning process has been developed, and now the work begins. Lincoln Hills has not had a board-approved Strategic Plan since 2012. The community is now 25 years old, and it is imperative that a strategic plan process be conducted to develop a formalized strategic plan.

In the fall of 2023, the Board approved developing a five-year Strategic Plan. This effort was moved forward in the fall of 2023 and continued until this spring. A Strategic Plan Process and Recommendations were created through the tremendous work of a strong volunteer team, a resident Advisory Council, multiple input opportunities from residents, and Board and staff interviews. This was approved by the Board of Directors at the April 25, 2024 Board Meeting.

This is a summary of the input and recommendation to ‘focus on the basic before adding new.’:

• 2024-26 – Fix basic operations and governance by establishing sustainable, disciplined policies, practices, procedures, and processes.

• 2025-27 – Strengthen basic operations through improved productivity, efficiency, cost management, communications, and community outreach.

• 2026 and beyond – Focus on the development and execution of a community-wide market-driven affordable master plan.

The Board has been very engaged and supportive of the Strategic Planning efforts that have led to this preliminary document to relaunch the Strategic Plan process. More work and community input is needed to develop a credible roadmap for Lincoln Hills’ future.

I look forward to working with staff on operational items that will compile the various policies and procedures inherent to each department’s function. Simultaneously, I will also be engaging assistance and input from a resident ad-hoc task force or committee for the development and delivery of a master plan.
