Derek, Congrats and condolenses on your new role.  I can say that because I've been there.  It's tough work to get GIS and its benefits accepted as a reason to change long-held beliefs of people that have much more experience than you.  Find an executive sponsor to help establish the urgency to change/improve your city's operations - City Manager? Dept. Head?  If you're embedded with a depatment you may have to live in that ecosystem for a while before branching out.  Being under the city manager is preferred over a department because, with the right city vision, GIS will be expected to deliver organizational benefits and departments will need to leverage the technology, data structures and information sharing that GIS can bring.  You may not be able to effect this level of change for a while and that's OK, find quick wins that demonstrate the benefits and value you and GIS can bring - document them, communicate them broadly so as to find friendly programs that want the benefits you can deliver with GIS.  Search ArcUser for GIS ROI to find ways to prove/share your GIS results.  Use other GIS program's strategic plans as templates for a plan, but know that your city's needs/priorities must come from your agency. ...
