MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Troy Brown, City Manager
DATE: 04/07/2021 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Review Strategies, Goals & Objectives for Fiscal Year 2019/20 and
Fiscal Year 2020/21 and Consider Proposed Strategies, Goals, and
Objectives for Fiscal Year 2021/22 and Fiscal Year 2022/23
BACKGROUND
On February 27, 2021, the City Council held a Special meeting for the purpose of
conducting a workshop to evaluate the strategies, goals, and objectives for the next
two-year planning cycle. At the workshop, the City Council was tasked with creating goals
for Fiscal Years 2021/22 and 2022/23 while implementing a holistic approach toward goal
setting for achieving sustained progress toward the City of Moorpark’s Mission Statement
of “Striving to preserve and improve the quality of life in Moorpark”.
A copy of the list of goals developed at the February 27th meeting is included as
Attachment 1 to this report. Consistent with City Council direction after the meeting, we
have developed a workplan to implement the Council-derived strategies, goals and
objectives and assigned specific tasks that staff will undertake over the two-year planning
cycle to make progress on the Council’s goals. As in prior years, it is noted that due to
limited staffing within the organization and current workloads associated with the City’s
normal regulatory role, progress on all the goals may not be possible.
To achieve sustained progress toward the City’s mission, the Council develops priorities,
goals, and objectives that serve as directives for City staff spanning a two-year planning
period. These Strategic Priorities are accompanied by specific tasks that provide an
outline of the activities the City Council desires to undertake during a two-year planning
period.
It is acknowledged that the format and content of the goals established by the City Council
have changed since the Council last adopted its Strategies, Goals, and Objectives in
2019; this was intentional. In previous adopted goals and objectives, nearly 200 tasks
were identified for staff to undertake over a five-year period. This process was daunting
and, while comprehensive, lacked in providing a clear pathway for the staff and a distinct
connection between the tasks and the City’s Mission.

This item seeks City Council approval of the goals established at the February 27, 2021
City Council Workshop and the associated workplans developed by staff to achieve the
goals.
DISCUSSION
Strategic planning is an activity that is used to set priorities, focus and align resources to
strengthen operations, and ensure 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 begins by clarifying the Mission of an organization. This consists of identifying
the overarching statement articulating the primary goal of the organization. Moorpark’s
Mission statement is: Striving to preserve and improve the quality of life in Moorpark.
The next step through strategic planning takes us 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 component of strategic planning for cities. Over the
course of many years, the City has placed an emphasis on strategic planning by
assessing and evaluating the progress it is making and the direction it is taking every two
years. These two-year assessments align with election cycles of the Mayor and City
Council. Following the elections which occur in even numbered years, the City Council
and staff conduct a workshop to discuss, and where appropriate, refine the strategic
direction for the City.
Over the course of the current planning period, quarterly updates have been provided to
the City Council and the community on progress made toward achieving the Council’s
goals and objectives. As reported at the meeting of September 16, 2020, staff made
progress on twenty-eight percent (28%) of the City Council’s goals and objectives. At
that time, staff noted that the novel coronavirus substantially impacted progress on our
goals as we focused our efforts on enforcement of various health orders implemented as
measures to combat the pandemic. Associated with the pandemic, the City undertook a
number of efforts to assist local businesses suffering from temporary closures and
developed measures for safely transitioning the City’s service delivery model to an online
model in order to minimize human contact and encourage social distance. The City of
Moorpark Mission Statement, Strategies, Goals, and Objectives FY 2019/20 and
FY 2020/21 from the prior planning cycle are attached for your reference as Attachment 2.

The City’s efforts toward making progress on goals to achieve the City’s mission is never
complete as many of the goals and objectives are long term and span multiple years.
With the understanding and appreciation that several significant tasks in the current
planning cycle are already underway, staff will need to place a continued focus on those
items as they move into the implementation phase. This further limits the City’s ability to
implement a myriad of new objectives in future planning cycles.
Through the work completed at the workshop, the Council identified a smaller number of
goals to focus staff’s work over the coming two-year planning cycle. None of the goals
and objectives previously identified in prior planning cycles have been lost. Those goals
and their status are attached (see Attachment 2) for the Council as an informational item.
The tasks contained in prior strategic planning cycles will be kept and continuously
referenced throughout the course of our work. As previously stated, many of these items
are currently underway and significant. Other tasks contained in prior goals and
objectives will be saved for integration into future planning efforts and funding
opportunities.
The City of Moorpark Strategies, Goals, and Objectives for the 2021/22 & 2022/23
planning cycle are:
I. Strategy - Quality of Life
• Goal: Identify Options and Solutions to Barriers for Housing for All
Economic and Age Ranges
II. Strategy - Equity and Inclusion
• Goal: Practice Respect, Equity, and Inclusion Citywide
III. Strategy - Economic Development
• Goal: Place an Emphasis on Economic Development with a Focus on
Historic High Street to Enhance a Destination and Sense of Community
IV. Strategy - Arts, Culture and Entertainment
• Goal: Find Ways to Help the Community Develop, Sustain, and Enhance
Arts, Culture, Entertainment, and Public Events
The above strategies and goals set the strategic direction for the City and are less likely
to change year-over-year as they 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 organization to the work of staff. 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 four strategic areas. Each of the objectives lead to specific tasks
that are measurable in the City’s short-term action plan. As progress is made on the
objectives, advancement toward a particular strategy is accomplished, and ultimately, the
mission of the organization is achieved.

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 as well as 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 organization’s resources more succinctly with the City’s Mission and connect
employees’ daily tasks with the Council’s strategic priorities.
Rather than identifying specific dates of completion for each of the objectives for this goal
setting session, staff is proposing to identify which specific activities can be completed in
totality and will assign dates to prioritize the objectives included 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 42 goals expected to be
accomplished or have significant progress made by June 30, 2023.
Specifically, staff is seeking approval of the City Council Strategies, Goals, and Objectives
and/or input on the specific objectives to be undertaken during the two-year planning
period.
