Strategic Plan

Every year, the City Council sets a list of priorities as targets for action during the next year.  The list is a product of the Strategic Planning Session where City Council and City Staff come together and design a blueprint for action.  This includes examining where we have been as well as planning and preparing for the future needs of the City.


Looking down the road five years, it was decided that the City of Midland would have Quality Water; a Strong, Diverse Local Economy; a Vibrant Downtown; be a Great Place to Live; and provide Financially Sound, Cost Effective Services.  For the immediate future, Top and High Priorities were also determined.

Top Priority

  • Water Master Plan: the recently developed plan examines water demands in 10 and 20 years.  The information provided gives the City a plan for line sizes, pumps, and water treatment needs. 
  • Storm Water Program and Utility Fee Structure: implement plan to enact this federally mandated program for the purpose of treating storm water runoff in the city drainage system.
  • Municipal Court Building: to explore options for the future Municipal Court Building.  Options include possible conversion of an existing building, expansion of the present building, or construction of a new facility.
  • Employee Compensation: continue to examine positions and pay ranges as compared to other markets.  Future decisions include which cities Midland will compare data with and what percentage of salary range will be ideal.
  • Annexation: continue to manage the quality growth of the City through the implementation of annexation strategies developed during the last five years.

High Priority

  • Martin Luther King, Jr. Facility: decide what direction to take in regards to the pool and updates to the entire facility.
  • Comprehensive Fee Schedule: review, and adjust where necessary, Midland’s current fees for service.
  • Midland Senior Center: address immediate accessibility issues.  Decide direction in regards to expansion of entire facility including health department services.
  • Roadway Funding: establish a plan of action for the redevelopment of the city’s arterial street system including the proposed funding of such projects.
  • Downtown Master Plan: work with community stakeholders to implement the concepts and strategies identified in the plan.
  • County Services Agreement: identify and determine the value of services provided to county residents and work with the Commissioners Court to redefine the interlocal agreement.
