2022 County Goalsetting: You Have a Voice!

By Supervisor Kathleen Haff, Tuolumne County District 4


The Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors will be convening a workshop in early February 2022 to decide what the goals will be for 2022. Establishing goals helps give our county direction and informs administration of where to put staff resources for the most important priorities.

As the Supervisor for District 4, and a supervisor for the entire county, I can’t fully decide what is most important without YOU and your input! So, I am asking you to weigh in. Here are the goals we had in place for last year:


2021 Strategic Goals & Objectives

1. Prevent Loss of Life and Reduce Property Damage Due to Catastrophic Fire by Creating a Strategic Plan for Wildfire Preparations

We will probably hold to five top goals and objectives again, for 2022.

Here is what I want to know from you (see survey below):

  1. Is there any goal or objective not on the 2021 list that you would like to see added? If so, what is it, and why?

  2. What ranking (between 1, being first priority and 5, being fifth priority) would you give this new goal?

  3. What goal from the 2021 list would you remove?

  4. In what Supervisorial District do you live?
