FROM: Jeremy Laurentowski, Parks and Recreation Director
DATE: Meeting 3/2/20
SUBJECT: Consider Fiscal Year 2019/20 and 2020/21 Mission Statement,
Strategies, Goals and Objectives
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On July 17, 2019, the City Council adopted the City of Moorpark, Mission Statement,
Strategies, Goals and Objectives (Objectives) for Fiscal Years 2019/20 and 2020/21.
The Objectives are the building blocks that establish the priorities for each City
department. They were identified by the City Council to support the City's mission,
"Striving to preserve and improve the quality of life in Moorpark' and cover a two year
planning cycle. The next update to the Objectives will be in 2021. The Objectives
relevant to the current planning cycle are listed in the attached document through page
9. All the Objectives are grouped by estimated timelines: 0-2 years, 2-5 years, and 5+
years starting on page 10. At the front of each Objective are initials noting the funding
status: "F" — meaning funded, "NF" — not funded, and "SE" — staff effort, not requiring
funding.
The purpose of this review is for the Parks and Recreation Commission (Commission)
to familiarize itself with the Objectives that relate to the Commission's area of
responsibility and request information and an update from staff if appropriate, prior to
the annual joint meeting of the City Council and the Commission. The date of the joint
meeting has not yet been determined. However, it will most likely be scheduled on
March 25, April 8 or April 22, 2020.
For the purpose of this report, the discussion should focus on the Objectives relevant to
the current planning cycle. These Objectives are listed through page 9. The discussion
will be limited to the objectives that fall within the Commission's areas of responsibility,
specifically `park' or `recreation' related objectives. As mentioned previously, the Goals
and Objectives will not be updated until the spring of 2021 and new objectives typically
will not be considered until the next update.
