toward an efficient program for providing services to Tribal members is to fill some of those gaps. Evaluation of program op tions and performance All Divisions will work to develop cost-effective ser vices which will require ac curately measuring costs and performance. Uslnq ond Updotlnq the Plon The Strategic Plan will be the guiding policy document for Tribal government. All actions by the Tribal Council and staff should further the strategies or implement the actions described in the Plan. Parts of the Strategic Plan should not change every year principles like self-sufficiency, efficiency, and fairness should have a long life. Similarly, many strategies about what types of services should be provided, the extent to which beneficiaries of those ser vices should pay for them, and how much effort the Tribal gov ernment should make to commu nicate with Tribal members, if adopted by a strong majority of Councilors and members, should not change too much year by year. rr r fl i fcjfofrrr" rfcSrafr Iw Wxry f . t f Ik a T kWH Jf An ortlst's conceptuolizotion of the entronce to the proposed qominq center. The Strategic Plan will also contain, for each Division, state ments about missions, strategies, and actions. In most cases, the mission and strategies will change only slightly year to year but some actions will take more time than planned; some will have less success than expected; new actions may be needed to re spond to new opportunities and problems. Thus, actions will change year to year. Normally, such changes will be handled as part of the annual budget process in the Fall. After several years, how ever, several things make a full review of the Strategic Plan de sirable. First, the small annual changes to actions (including the completion of actions) makes much of the plan obso lete. Second, as actions suc ceed or fail, strategies may change. Third, the process of strategic planning can revitalize an organization. Thus, the Tribe will sched-v-ule a process to revise its Strate gic Plan for every three years. 13111111 if:ii!iiijfiii!igi;iii:i!i.i lm Vlllls focllltot.es discussion durinq the community meetlnqs.
