RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file this report.
Body
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this recommendation.
BACKGROUND:
To help guide decision-making at all levels of the organization, and to focus the City's efforts on its core functions, the City developed a Strategic Plan in January 2012. The Strategic Plan consisted of a mission statement, core values, three-year goals, and six-month objectives.
The City Council's three-year goals state what the organization needs to accomplish (consistent with the Mission and moving the organization towards its Vision).
The City has identified four (4) three-year goals for 2012-2015 (not in priority order):
1. Maintain and enhance financial stability
2. Increase organizational effectiveness and efficiency
3. Maintain and enhance city facilities, programs and infrastructure
4. Encourage engagement and increase participation of residents and businesses
The City Council and Department Heads met most recently on January 23, 2013, to evaluate progress on the goals, identify core values for the City, and to develop objectives for the next six-month period.
The City Council will receive monthly updates to the Strategic Plan Monitoring Matrix (Attachment 1) in order to measure progress on the goals and objectives, and to allow for the revision of those objectives (add, amend, and/or delete), as needed.
DISCUSSION:
At the meeting on January 23, 2013, the City Council added additional opportunities for public input as it met to evaluate progress on the three-year goals and to develop objectives for the next six-month period.
The new six-month strategic objectives identified at the January 23, 2013, Strategic Planning meeting and scheduled for completion during the next six-month period of January 23, 2013, to July 15, 2013, is included in Attachment 1. The list has been updated and yellow highlights show changes from the last update.
The City Council is scheduled to hold its next strategic planning retreat on Wednesday, July 10, 2013, 8:30 am to 4:00 pm, in the Police/Fire Conference Room.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file this report.
