SUBJECT: Consider Mission Statement, Priorities, Goals and Objectives for
Fiscal Year 2015/2016 and Fiscal Year 2016/2017
SUMMARY
The proposed FY 2015/2016 and FY 2016/2017 Mission Statement, Priorities, Goals
and Objectives are attached. The proposed changes from FY 2014/2015 are shown in
legislative format, and the City Council's designated "Top Ten (10) Priorities" are
included.
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 $200,000 General Fund operating deficit in FY
2015/2016. 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 six years, a number of staffing changes were made resulting in nine 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 fourteen percent (14%) of the
City's full-time work force and twenty-eight percent (28%) of its management staff. This
impacts the ability to complete projects and accomplish objectives.
The City Council Quarterly Report 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.

May 13, 2015 (CC Meeting of May 20, 2015)
Page 2
On February 4, 2015, 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 8, 2015.
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. Oto 2 years
B. 2 to 5 years
C. 5+ years
There are 122 proposed FY 2015/2016 and FY 2016/2017 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 122 proposed objectives, 84 are in the 0 to 2
years' category, 24 are in the 2 to 5 years' category, and 14 are in the 5+ years'
category. There were 117 objectives in FY 2014/2015.
Pursuant to City Council Policies Resolution No. 2015-3378, 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:
"Evaluate options and strategies for enhancement of General Fund revenue
including but not limited to potential tax measures for sales, business license, oil
extraction and utility users; mail ballot for increase in assessments for parks,
street lighting and landscaping; and community outreach." (Objective lll.A.1.
from FY 2014/2015 Goals & Objectives)
The proposed Objective III.A.6., "In conjunction with Ventura County and affected
property owners, develop a plan to reduce maintenance costs for the Home Acres
Buffer," should be assigned to the Transportation and Public Works Committee since
this committee is currently assigned to serve as the City's representatives on the
Community Park Joint Development Coordinating Committee (Shadyridge Buffer Zone).
The Joint Powers Agreement formed between the City and County of Ventura to
address construction and maintenance of the Home Acres Buffer provides for the
referenced Coordinating Committee. The Coordinating Committee should meet once a

year to discuss issues but hasn't met in several years. It consists of two City members,
the County Supervisor for Moorpark, a property owner residing in Home Acres, and a
property owner residing in the City within the area assessed for maintenance of the
Home Acres Buffer.
It is proposed that the "Mission Statement, Priorities, Goals and Objectives" be formally
modified every two years in odd numbered years (2015, 2017, 2019, etc.). This would
be within six months of scheduled General Elections. It would still be reviewed annually
but no new objectives would be added until the next odd numbered year. This is
proposed to save staff time. It also recognizes the reduction of staff and the effect it has
had on the length of time it takes to complete items. As noted in the document under
review, only a few items are actually completed in a year.
Additionally, when the final document for FY 2015/2016 and FY 2016/2017 is prepared,
staff will re-order the objectives under each goal so they are grouped by the department
that has primary responsibility for the objective. This will allow those viewing the
document to easily see the number of objectives each department has for each goal.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve Mission Statement, Priorities, Goals and Objectives for FY 2015/2016 and FY
2016/2017 and formal review only in odd numbered years and determine which, if any,
objectives are to be referred to a Standing Committee.
