MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: PJ Gagajena, Assistant City Manager
DATE: 06/07/2023 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Proposed Strategies, Goals, and Objectives for Fiscal Years
2023/24 and 2024/25
BACKGROUND AND 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 is 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
what services residents’ value. 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.
On April 8, 2023, 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. The City Council also received a presentation of resident feedback from the
National Community Survey issued in November 2022. At the workshop, the City Council

was tasked with creating goals for Fiscal Years 2023/24 and 2024/25 while implementing
a holistic approach toward goal setting for achieving sustained progress toward the City
of Moorpark’s Mission Statement.
Consistent with City Council direction, after the meeting, staff developed a workplan to
implement the Council-derived strategies and goals and assigned specific objectives and
tasks that staff will undertake during the next two-year cycle (Attachment 1). As in prior
years, it is noted that due to the availability of resources, other unanticipated priorities,
and daily workloads, 100% completion rates on all the goals may not be possible.
The City of Moorpark’s Strategies, Goals, and Objectives for Fiscal Years 2023/24 and
2024/25 are:
1. Strategy – Quality of Life
• Goal: THE Moorpark Quality of Life
• Description: The Moorpark Quality of Life is reflected in its welcoming small
town feel with easy access to essential amenities and services. Moorpark
is a safe, prosperous community that strives to offer all levels of housing
choices. People enjoy the network of trails and open spaces that promote
healthy living and outdoor recreation. Moorpark is a community that values
the well-being and happiness of its residents and strives to maintain its
unique charm, history, and livability for current and future residents.
2. Strategy – Economic Development
• Goal: Strategic Economic Development
• Description: Moorpark will develop a local economy that has unique
business centers, attracts vested business leaders and visitors, and serves
a wide spectrum of shopping, entertainment, and employment needs for its
current and future residents, with a continued emphasis on High Street.
3. Strategy – Governance
• Goal: Excellent City Governance
• Description: Moorpark is a hallmark of effective governance, as it prioritizes
transparent, equitable, and responsible management of the City’s
resources and services. With a diverse and sustainable workforce, the City
ensures that its policies and practices reflect the needs and values of its
residents. Through its dedication to excellent, friendly, and personal
service, Moorpark has earned the trust and confidence of its residents, and
continues to be a model for other cities to follow.
From the aforementioned strategies and goals, objectives have been identified that more
closely relate to the specific outcomes the City is striving to achieve. The outcome, or
“workplan” are attached as Attachment 1. 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 three
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. Staff will provide an update to the City Council on the status of
the objectives and tasks on a regular basis.
Staff is seeking approval of the proposed Strategies, Goals, and Objectives and/or input
on the specific objectives to be undertaken during the next two-year planning period.
