The Fair Oaks Ranch Municipal Development District will consider adding $25,000 to its fiscal 2027 budget for strategic-planning services; the packet presents a preliminary $20,150 consulting scope, with travel reimbursed separately.
For Fair Oaks Ranch residents and business owners, the proposal would fund a process meant to set project priorities and implementation criteria; it would raise the district's professional-services budget from $35,500 to $60,500 and lower its projected ending fund balance from $5,077,363 to $5,052,363.
The district adopted its fiscal 2027 budget before it settled on an approach to strategic planning, leaving the work to a later budget amendment. That budget projected $737,800 in revenue, including $592,800 in local sales-tax revenue, and $69,771 in expenditures before this proposal.
The preliminary scope from The Mejorando Group assigns 25 consulting hours and two full workshop days. It calls for a kickoff workshop, a draft strategic plan with priorities, goals, objectives and project criteria, then a second facilitated board review.
The packet's possible timeline begins with a September decision, moves through interviews and workshops in October and November, puts draft-plan development in December and January, and places board review and possible adoption in February or March.
