AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Steven Kueny, City Manager
DATE: February 11, 2004 (CC Meeting of February 18, 2004)
SUBJECT: Consider Status Report on Mission Statement,
Priorities, Goals and Objectives for Fiscal Year
2003/2004 and Direction for Fiscal Year 2004/2005
Attached are the City Council's approved Mission Statement,
Priorities, Goals and Objectives for FY 2003/2004. 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:
