The Lake Mary Fire Department's 2022-2027 Strategic Plan is designed to enhance the quality of life for the citizens through five key strategic priorities: firefighter health and safety, program fiscal responsibility, community risk reduction, organizational performance measures and accreditation, and succession planning, career pathing, and credentialing. These priorities are executed through 21 SMART goals, with participation from all department members, city leadership, business partnerships, and customer surveys.

The agenda includes discussion on extraordinary circumstances for trustees joining electronically, election of chair, actuary reports (including default calculation, actuarial confirmation of state money, and a proposed fee increase), investment reports (including manager reports and a market overview), attorney reports (including annual form 1 filing), administrator reports (including signature authorization and death search process updates), plan financials (including interim financial statements, warrant approvals, and budget reports), benefit approvals, other business, additional reports, and public comments.

The Planning & Zoning Board meeting agenda includes a review of the draft minutes from March 8, 2022, citizen participation, and public participation process.
