In approving this document, the Council included a list of top ten (10) priorities, which consists of thirty -three (33) of the one hundred six (106) identified objectives. Also attached is a list of the objectives by department. As in past years, it is generally acknowledged that with current staff levels, there are many more objectives listed than can be reasonably expected to be accomplished in the year. In fact, many of the objectives will take several years to fully complete. A written status report on the various priorities and objectives is not included as part of this report. The City Council Monthly Report provides a status on most of these items as well as other staff work efforts. Staff will respond to specific Council questions when this matter is considered. Since 2001, the Council has reviewed the objectives prior to preparation of the budget with the purpose of having more correlation between the Council approved objectives and City Manager proposed budget. It has been our practice to maintain a secondary list of objectives. In prior years, several items have been elevated from this list to approved objectives by the Council. The items from this list are as follows: x`00010 City Council Agenda Report Re: Status Report on Goals and Objectives for FY 2003/2004 and Direction for FY 2004/2005 Page 2 February 11, 2004 (CC Meeting of February 18, 2004) Potential Objectives 1.
