StrategicPlan


County Council adopted the current Strategic Plan in May 2007 and the plan is regularly reviewed and updated. The strategic plan explains in detail the actions and activities that Hastings County, as an upper tier government, will undertake to help achieve the vision and mandates for a prosperous county.
The summary section of the plan provides an overview of these actions and activities. It does this both for government as a whole and by department.
For each department, there is a brief description of general roles and responsibilities. The summary then looks in particular at the strategic goals of each department that follow from the County’s vision and mission. At the end of each departmental overview, there is a description of any new programs or activities that the department plans to undertake to work toward the strategic goals.
The second half of this document provides a more detailed breakdown of the plan by department. For each strategic goal described in the summary, there is a list of short-term goals, action plans, and measures of success.

OrganizationalReview


In 2005 County Council contracted the services of The Randolph Group Management Consultants to undertake a review of management and administrative processes and management (organizational) structure of Hastings County. The review resulted in numerous recommendations for organizational change and implementation of the recommendations approved by County Council has occurred over the past 3-4 years.

To review the Randolph Group’s Report on organizational restructure please click here.

Closed Session Investigator


Hastings County operates to a very high standard of openness and transparency. To this end, we have appointed a Municipal Closed Meeting Investigator in accordance with Section 239 of the Municipal Act, to investigate in an independent manner whether the municipality has complied with the Municipal Act and our Procedural By-law in respect to a meeting that was closed to the public.

If an individual has a concern about business conducted during a closed meeting of Hastings County Council or its Committees, please refer to the attached Policies below:
