Staff reports continue to be the most common and best way for planners to communicate community legal standards and goals to elected and appointed officials, colleagues, applicants, and citizens. However, these documents often fall flat or are unread or, quite frankly, left unloved sitting on the sidelines. It is time for planners to get in the game. It is time to reclaim the power of the staff report, the power of teaching, communicating, listening, and showcasing planners’ expertise and their love of their communities. Leave that dusty old staff report behind and focus on efficiencies (templates, AI, apps), storytelling, and leading through better planning practices. It’s a new year, so time to renew those staff reports (and the planners who write them).
