FROM: Troy Brown, City Manager
D ATE: May 9 , 2019 Special Meeting
SUBJECT: Review Goals & Objectives for Fiscal Year 2017/2018 and
Fiscal Year 2018/2019 and Consider Proposed Strategies,
Objectives and Goals for Fiscal Year 2019/2020 and Fiscal Year
2020/2021
BACKGROUND
The City of Moorpark’s Mission Statement is “Striving to preserve and improve
the quality of life in Moorpark”. To achieve sustained progress toward the City’s
mission, the Council has stated priorities and objectives that serve as directives
for City staff that span a two year planning period. The Priorities have tasks that
support them which provide for specific activities the City Council desires to
undertake during a two year planning period, and the tasks fall into six
categories:
I. Revitalize downtown Moorpark with a focus on High Street and the
surrounding business district and residential neighborhoods, which
includes consideration of public rail transit, potential for increased
residential density, and governmental and related public uses.
II.Improve traffic circulation and mitigate impacts on the movement of
traffic through the City and enhance trail, bicycle and pedestrian
facilities.
III.Strengthen the City’s fiscal stability and long-range financial growth.
IV.Enhance the delivery of services and expand program efficiencies.
V. Reinforce and enhance Moorpark’s safe and attractive community
character, safeguard its desirable resources and promote sustainability

and environmental protection and improve watershed protection and
flood control capabilities.
VI. Enhance open space and greenbelt areas, promote sustainability and
environmental protection and improve watershed protection and flood
control capabilities.
Staff has reviewed the current structure of the goals set forth for the Council and
is proposing to restructure existing goals to implement a strategic approach
toward goal setting for the Council to consider. This structure develops a higher
level vision in articulating the direction the Council wishes to take the City in over
a longer period of time, and outlines milestones and tasks to undertake over the
two-year planning period to make progress on the City’s goals. This new format
does not remove any of the City Council’s previous priorities but provides a more
strategic pathway for the community and the organization in understanding the
overall direction the City is moving in. The staff report outlines the proposed
strategic roadmap and sets for a new vision for the City Council to consider.
DISCUSSION
Strategic planning is an activity that is used to set priorities, focus and align
resources, strengthens operations and ensures employees and other
stakeholders are working toward common goals.
It is a disciplined, long-term effort that produces fundamental decisions and
actions that shape and guide what an organization is, who it serves, what it does,
and why it does it, with a focus on the future. Effective strategic planning
articulates not only where an organization is going and the actions needed to
make progress, but also how it will know if it is successful.
Strategic Planning starts with clarifying the Mission of an organization. This
consists of identifying the overarching statement articulating the primary goal or
an organization. Moorpark’s Mission statement is: Striving to preserve and
improve the quality of life in Moorpark. Through the strategic planning lenses,
this is why the City of Moorpark exists.
The next step through a strategic planning perspective takes us down one level
lower to identify the broad values that are important to the City. These values
state the central “musts” and “must nots” of the City — the vital principles that are
necessary in guiding leaders and employees in their day-to-day and long-range
decision-making. Stakeholder input is vital to this process and understanding
which services residents’ value, and how strongly these services are valued is an
integral input for strategic planning for cities. From this process, strategic
objectives are formed.

Strategic “strategies” are long-term, continuous areas that help connect the
mission to the organization. Strategy establishes a way to match the
organization’s strengths with opportunities, so when a service or need arises
there is a focus on the customer. In looking in a strategic way at the City’s goals
and objectives, a question to consider is: Do our goals and objectives articulate
the value of our Mission statement and translate to our employees and
residents?
As we continue to through the strategic planning process, next we must decide
the specific objectives (or initiatives/goals etc.) we need to implement to help the
City achieve each of its business strategies. This is done department-by-
department within the City, setting specific objectives within each team, Parks,
Recreation and Community Services, Development Services, Public Works,
Finance, technology, finance and human resources. For example, a business
goal might be "improve morale" and a specific objective of the HR department to
support that goal might be "launch new employee benefits". In general
department-level goals should be limited to a handful of items that the
department can rally around in any one year. And, these objectives need to be
made SMART--Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Results-Focused and
Timebound.
In early spring 2019, the City garnered input from residents to solicit the
community’s values from a service perspective. The community identified it’s
“musts” and “must nots” via a survey that was administered by True North. The
results of the survey will be shared with the Council at the workshop.
In the fall of 2018, Mid-Managers and the Executive Leadership team conducted
a strategic planning exercise in an effort to reorganize and reconnect our work
back to the mission of the organization. This exercise involved an extensive
process where teams were formed to review City’s existing goals and objectives,
analyze the current objectives and identify areas where disconnects exists.
Groups were divided into teams of four to focus on identifying strategies that
support the mission of the organization. The teams reviewed the existing
organizational objectives to make a connection between what activities we are
doing versus how the objective moves the City toward its mission.
The teams identified the following broad strategic strategies by placing a higher
emphasis on how to implement an overarching strategy, while preserving
originally identified objectives. Upon review of the Goals and Objectives, the
teams propose to re-categorize the existing Priority Objectives into the following
Strategic Strategies:

Honorable City Council

I. Previous Objective: Revitalize downtown Moorpark with a focus on
High Street and the surrounding business district and residential
neighborhoods, which includes consideration of public rail transit,
potential for increased residential density, and governmental and
related public usesPromote economic development and innovation.
Proposed Strategy: Revitalize downtown with a focus on High Street
and the surround business district and residential neighborhoods.
II. Previous Objective: Improve traffic circulation and mitigate impacts on
the movement of traffic through the City and enhance trail, bicycle and
pedestrian facilities
Proposed Strategy: Improve Accessibility and Mobility.
III. Previous Objective: Strengthen the City’s fiscal stability and long-rang
financial growth
Proposed Strategy: Strengthen fiscal sustainability
IV. Previous Objective: Enhance the delivery of services and expand
program efficiencies
Proposed Strategy: Operations and Internal Services
V. Previous Objective: Reinforce and enhance Moorpark’s safe and
attractive community character, safeguard its desirable resources and
promote sustainability and environmental protection and improve
watershed protection and flood control capabilities
AND
VI. Previous Objective: Enhance open space and greenbelt areas,
promote sustainability and environmental protection and improve
watershed protection and flood control capabilities
Proposed Strategies: Enhance Quality of Life for Moorpark Residents
The proposed strategies would serve as the overarching principles in achieving
the City mission. The above strategies set the strategic direction for the City and
are less likely to change year-over-year and are intended to span many years.
From the aforementioned strategies, objectives have been identified that more
closely relate to the specific outcomes the City is striving to achieve. Strategic
objectives, like strategies are areas that help connect the mission of the
4
Honorable City Council
May 9, 2019 Special Meeting
Page 5
organization to the staff work. Objectives are more nimble and adaptable than
strategies. Objectives support strategies and provide the “how” in implementing
a strategy. Holistic objectives are proposed to encompass each of the six
strategic areas. Each of the objectives lead to specific tasks that are measurable
in the City’s short-term action plan.
Each objective will have a series of underlying tasks to be completed during the
planning cycle. The tasks make up the specific activities the City will undertake
in the two-year planning cycle. As progress is made on the tasks, progress on
the objective occurs, thus progress on a particular strategy is made, and
ultimately the mission of the organization is achieved. This process is outlined
below:
On January 22, 2017, the City Council received a status report of the FY 2017/18
and 2018/19 goals and objectives. In addition, objectives were recently
discussed with the Arts Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, Library
Board, and Planning Commission at joint meetings on April 10, 2018.
For the FY 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 planning period there are 38 tasks/goals
compared to the 118 objectives proposed in the prior planning period. All
previously discussed goals and objectives have been moved to “out” years, and
the timing and inclusion of the remaining objectives will be determined by the City
Council. There 38 tasks/goals to complete in the 2-year planning cycle is a
relatively high number of objectives to accomplish. However achievement of the
goals does move the City in the strategic direction toward implementing the
mission of the City.
Several years ago the City Council established the current format where the Top
Ten (10) Priorities along with the objectives that are in direct support of a Top
Ten Priority were identified. The format and implementation of the goals were

not precise in connecting the efforts tasks of the employees to the City’s overall
Mission. Changing the format from a Priority format to a Strategy format
provides a greater connection of the work of the organization to the overarching
Mission of the City, as each of the proposed Strategies support the Mission of the
City.
Staff is proposing the following objectives to support the proposed strategies:
I. Strategy: Revitalize downtown with a focus on High Street and the
surround business district and residential neighborhoods.
Objective: Downtown Revitalization/High Street
Objective: Enhance residential density and Governmental related
public uses
II. Strategy: Improve Accessibility and Mobility
Objective: Identify Key Improvements needed to improve desired Level
of Service.
Objective: Enhance trail, bicycle and pedestrian facilities
Objective: Address Truck Traffic/Safety
III. Strategy: Strengthen fiscal sustainability
Objective: Determine Revenue Enhancement Strategies
Objective: Enhance Long term sustainability
Objective: Reduce costs through efficiencies
IV. Strategy: Governmental Operations and Internal Services
Objective: Expand internal infrastructure to facilitate efficient service
delivery
Objective: Employee Development and Succession Planning
Objective: Evaluate programs for continuous improvement
V. Strategy: Enhance Quality of Life for Moorpark Residents
Objective: Implement Smart Cities Strategies

Honorable City Council
May 9, 2019 Special Meeting
Page 7
Objective: Enhance Public Safety
Objective: Conserve and enhance natural and infrastructure resources
for open space and greenbelt areas
Objective: Promote environmental protection & sustainability
The above proposed strategies with associated objectives and goals make up
the proposed goals and objectives for the two year planning period of FY
2019/20 and 2020/21 as shown in Attachment A. The goals reflect feedback
from City Council input over recent months, community feedback from the recent
survey, staff input, as well as comments from the joint meetings of the City
Council and its commissions. Some new objectives have been added, and other
objectives the City had previously identified have been reorganized to reflect the
current community priorities. A few objectives for the City are being
recommended for removal because they are operational in nature and not
aligned with supporting the City’s mission. For the goals that are proposed to be
removed, staff is proposing to complete those items; however they are not to be
considered as part of the City’s overall Strategies Goals & Objectives.
As in prior 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 two years. In fact, many of the objectives will take several
years to fully complete.
The proposed changes from FY 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 are shown in
legislative format on Attachment B. Staff is seeking direction on the new
proposed strategies, the new proposed objectives and ultimately the tasks (or
goals) to implement the proposed strategic direction.
The status of the tasks/goals will continue to be reviewed by the Council each
February and September and with the three commissions and Library Board at
joint meetings each spring and prior to budget deliberations in May. Staff
believes this reorganization of the goals and objectives, coupled with a more
internal strategic planning process will align the organizations resources more
succinctly with the City’s Mission and connect the employees daily tasks with the
Council’s strategic priorities.
There were 118 proposed objectives in the FY 2017/2018 and 2018/2019
planning cycle. Several years ago the City Council established a format where
the Top Ten (10) Priorities along with the objectives that were in direct support of
a Top Ten Priority were identified. It is recommended that rather than identifying
specific dates of completion of each of the objectives for the purposes of this goal
setting, staff is proposing to identify which specific activities in totality the Council
7
Honorable City Council
May 9, 2019 Special Meeting
Page 8
desires staff to focus on within the two-year planning period. All previously
identified goals and objectives will be considered as part of future planning
periods.
Overall, the City has a relatively high number of objectives it would like to
accomplish. As currently proposed there are 38 goals expected to be
accomplished or make significant progress by June 30, 2021.
Staff recognizes this is new planning cycle with a new strategic process being
requested and many of the goals have been re-ordered. However, Council input
is needed and refinements to the tasks/goals are to be expected. Specifically
staff is seeking input on the specific strategies, objectives and tasks to be
undertaken during the 2-year planning period.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Provide feedback on new format of Goals and Objectives. Provide feedback on
Strategies, Objectives and Goals for Fiscal Year 2019/2020 and Fiscal Year
2020/2021 with formal review to occur bi-annually.
