Dallas County Administrative Plan, 2017-2021
In 2016, Dallas County adopted an Administrative Plan to help govern its decision-making over the next five years. Designed to help the County know what it wants to be and how it can achieve this goal, the Plan is relatively simple and straightforward. It identifies five major “visions” for the County and requires that all proposed programs, projects, policies, and decisions be consistent with at least one of these visions.
| Dallas County Visions |
| Dallas County is operationally a model governmental entity. |
| Dallas County is a healthy community. |
| Dallas County is a proactive regional partner. |
| Dallas County is safe, secure, and prepared. |
| Dallas County is the destination of choice for businesses and residents. |
The Plan is now heading into its fourth year of operation. A key component of the Plan is the realization that the world is not static and that new issues and opportunities will arise. Recognizing this, the County recently amended the Plan to include the following activities:
- Continue to improve employee compensation/options for improving implementation of merit compensation.
- Develop a strategy for operating under SB2.
- Develop/implement strategy for increased digitization of County records.
- Develop/implement strategy for the future uses of Old Red, the Administration Building, the Records Building, and the Allen Building.
- Upgrade/replace County's financial tracking and reporting system.
These activities will produce benefits throughout the County organization and will help the County accomplish its stated visions.
