The mission of Lane County Government is to provide high-quality, local government services in a fair, open, and economical manner to best meet the needs and expectations of our citizens.

Strategic Plan & County Goals

The Lane County Strategic Plan 2001-2005 provided a basis for change, focused the organization's energies, identified ways to work differently, and was the catalyst for creating new ways to evaluate service priorities and service levels.  In 2005, as the Strategic Plan timeline drew to an end, the Lane County Board of Commissioners began to annually review progress and set specific goals to guide the organization for the coming one to two years.

A revision to the County's Strategic Plan will launch in early 2010.  The new plan will be:

• Concrete and specific
• Simple, user friendly and accessible
• Structured, yet dynamic
• Allow us to set long term goals and make strategic adjustments as conditions change
• Engage community members early

Community Surveys

In 2009, Lane County opted to use the National Citizen Survey (NCS) in preparation for upcoming budget and strategic planning decisions.  NCS is a collaborative effort between National Research Center, Inc. and the International City/County Management Association (ICMS).
