The policies resulting from this Section 3.5 are intended to help the Mayor, the Board, the City’s agencies and commissions, the Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure, and the courts, to develop and effect clear policies that will promote the City’s long-term prosperity. So intended, these policies and documents shall not legally bind the Mayor, the Board, or any board, commission, or department to any specific action or course of action beyond their complying with this Section’s requirements.

(A) The overall mission and goals of the agency;

Each agency shall develop and review a strategic plan which contains at least a three-year forward plan to reflect policy outcomes from the operations of the agency, consistent with the then-approved budget.
