Town Council Handbook

The Town Council Handbook provides guidelines for how the Yountville Town Council operates. It outlines standard procedures for meetings, roles, and decision-making.

What is the Strategic Plan?

The Strategic Plan is a guiding document that helps the Town of Yountville set clear goals and make thoughtful decisions about the future. It outlines the Town’s top priorities over a five-year period and helps shape how services are delivered and how resources are used.

The plan is built through a careful process that includes:

  • Reviewing current Town operations

  • Gathering input from the community

  • Identifying challenges and opportunities

  • Setting clear goals and priorities

Community feedback is a key part of this plan. Input from residents, businesses, and local partners helps make sure the plan reflects what matters most to the people of Yountville.

Each year, the Town Council reviews and updates the plan to reflect progress, respond to new needs, and keep a five-year outlook. This regular review helps ensure the plan stays current, useful, and focused on results.
