COCONINO COUNTY — Coconino County has a new public-facing performance dashboard designed to provide residents with transparent, real-time insight into the County’s progress toward achieving the Board of Supervisors’ strategic plan, entitled Coconino Forward: Where Vision Meets Action.
In March 2025, the Board of Supervisors approved an updated mission, vision, values and a five-year strategic plan following an extensive strategic planning process. The plan established priorities in six key areas: Public Lands/Cultural and Natural Resources; Organizational/Fiscal Health; Economic Development/Vitality; Community Vitality/Arts/Culture; Public Safety/Emergency Preparedness; and Health and Human Services/Public Health.
“Coconino Forward reflects our commitment to transparency, accountability and results,” Coconino County Board Chair and District 1 Supervisor Patrice Horstman said. “It demonstrates the work being done every day to strengthen our communities, protect our natural resources, support public safety and improve quality of life for our residents.”
Built using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology, the dashboard provides an interactive way for residents to learn about current county initiatives and understand how county programs and investments align with community priorities. The dashboard will be updated on a quarterly basis as projects advance.
“Coconino Forward is about creating a clear line of sight between the Board’s strategic priorities and the work being carried out by county departments and elected offices,” County Manager Andy Bertelsen said. “The dashboard provides a way to track progress, celebrate accomplishments and ensure we remain focused on delivering results for the people of Coconino County.”
Implementation of the strategic priorities is a living process that will continue to evolve over the life of the five-year strategic plan. As projects are completed and new opportunities emerge, the dashboard will be updated to reflect ongoing work and toward achieving the county’s long-term goals.
