AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Steven Kueny, City Manager g
DATE: May 12, 2014 (CC Meeting of May 21, 2014)
SUBJECT: Consider Mission Statement, Priorities, Goals and Objectives for
Fiscal Year 2014/2015
SUMMARY
The proposed FY 2014/2015 Mission Statement, Priorities, Goals and Objectives are
attached. The proposed changes from FY 2013/2014 are shown in legislative format,
and the City Council's designated "Top Ten (10) Priorities" are included. Current Goals
I. and V. are proposed for elimination.
DISCUSSION
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
year. In fact, many of the objectives will take several years to fully complete.
The City is facing an approximate $700,000 General Fund operating deficit in FY
2014/2015. This is about the same amount as in FY 2013/2014 before the Council took
several actions to balance the Budget. The projected shortfall is the result of a
continuing trend of declining development related revenues that historically supported
the planning, engineering, and building and safety services, the need for increased
General Fund support of those services as well as Parks and LMDs, TDA revenues that
support transit and street programs, and static General Fund revenue. In anticipation of
this situation over the past five years, a number of staffing changes were made resulting
in seven fewer management positions from the former Moorpark Redevelopment
Agency (MRA), Parks and Recreation, Community Development, Public Works,
Finance, and a shared MRA/Finance competitive service position. This is about twelve
percent (12%) of the City's full-time work force and twenty percent (20%) of its
management staff. This impacts the ability to complete projects and accomplish
objectives.

City Council Agenda Report
Re: 2014/2015 Mission Statement, Priorities, Goals and Objectives
May 12, 2014 (CC Meeting of May 21 , 2014)
Page 2
As reported last year, the Assistant City Manager became primarily responsible for
accomplishing specific objectives, special projects, and assignments until his retirement
in December 2014. As also reported last year, this position will be filled by the current
Deputy City Manager, and the vacated position will be left unfilled. This will have an
effect on staff's ability to accomplish objectives.
The status of the various priorities and objectives is included in legislative format as part
of this report. The City Council Quarterly Report also 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.
On February 5, 2014, the City Council received a status report and discussed the
current goals and objectives. In addition, the objectives were discussed with the Arts
Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, Library Board, and Planning
Commission at joint meetings on April 23, 2014. An excerpt of the February 5 minutes
is attached.
It is recommended that Goal I., "Expand and encourage community involvement in
establishing the general policies of the City and increase the public's understanding of
local government operations" be eliminated. Over several years, numerous activities
have been implemented in support of this goal including enhanced website (the public
can sign up for alerts on specific topics such as emergency management), government
channel broadcast of public meetings and messages about City activities, quarterly
newsletters, refuse bill inserts, electronic message boards, directed mailings and emails
for library, recreation, teen and active adults, and use of Facebook and Twitter for
recreation and the Moorpark Library. The City has historically used public hearing signs
and expanded mailings for development projects and other land use entitlements. Paid
advertising and press releases are used for numerous special projects. Information
about City operations is provided at Country Days, July 3, and other special events.
Volunteer opportunities are also promoted and continue to be successful for the police,
active adult, library and recreation programs. All of these activities are now part of the
City's ongoing operations, and as such, this specific goal is no longer needed.
Promoting community involvement and awareness will become a part of current Goal
VII.
It is also recommended that Goal V., "Reduce the potential for juvenile crime through
intervention and prevention efforts"be eliminated. Over the years, the few objectives in
support of this goal have become ongoing activities of the Moorpark Police Department.
The one remaining objective in the current Goal V. will be placed with the Goal VII.
objectives.

The word "safe" is proposed to be added to Goal VII. as well as added words to
recognize sustainability and Healthy City activities. This revised Goal VII. is proposed
as follows: "Reinforce and enhance Moorpark's safe and attractive community
character, safeguard its desirable resources, promote community involvement and
awareness, and sustainable and Healthy City activities."
The objectives in support of the proposed five goals have been placed in one of three
categories based on the projected time needed to complete the objective, as follows:
A. 0 to 2 years
B. 2 to 5 years
C. 5+ years
There are 117 proposed FY 2014/2015 objectives. The current listing of objectives in
support of the Top Ten Priorities will be modified when the Council approves the final
list. Of the 117 proposed objectives, 75 are in the 0 to 2 years' category, 27 are in the 2
to 5 years' category, and 15 are in the 5+ years' category. There were 120 objectives in
FY 2013/2014.
Pursuant to City Council Policies Resolution No. 2013-3176, Policy 1.2: City Council
Standing Committees; No. 9. — Items Referred to Committee:
"At the time the City Council approves annual objectives, it shall decide the staff
work for which objectives, if any, will be reviewed by a Standing Committee prior
to consideration by the City Council." ....
Currently, only one objective had been assigned to the Finance, Administration, and
Public Safety (FAPS) Committee, as follows:
"Conduct citywide mail ballot to seek increase in assessments for either parks or
street lighting and landscaping, or for increased assessments for both."
(Objective IV.A.4 from 2010-2011, 2011-2012, 2012-2013, and 2013-2014 Goals
and Objectives)
This objective has been merged with two related objectives, and it is recommended that
the proposed Objective IV.A.1 . be assigned to the FAPS Committee.
