By F0 0 SUBJECT: Consider Status Report of 1991/92 Goals and Objectives and Provide Direction on 1992/93 Goals The City Council approved the Mission Statement and Goals for the City in May 1991. The Objectives were reviewed by the Council during June 1991 as part of the budget adoption process but were not formally approved until September 18, 1991. This was the City's first formalized goal setting process. The Mission Statement is intended to be a broad statement of purpose for the entire City. The Goals are more focused than the Mission Statement, but like the Mission Statement, they provide latitude to support numerous pertinent Objectives. The Goals correspond to the major functional areas (divisions) of the departments. The Objectives support the Goals, are consistent with the adopted budget and are specific items targeted to be accomplished (or which significant progress is expected) during the Fiscal Year. This process also assists in measuring performance. A copy of the adopted Mission Statement, Goals and Objectives has been previously provided to the Council. A mid year status report was planned as part of the process. This serves four purposes: 1. To keep the Council informed on the progress; 2. To assess the impact of unanticipated /unplanned items or events requiring staff and Council attention and /or changed Council priorities; 3. To allow adjustments based on number 2., above; and 4. To receive any Council direction on changes to the Goals for 1992 -93 prior to preparing the Objectives as part of the draft budget. ROY E. TALLEY PAUL W LAWRASON JR. JOHN E.

It defines, in a general outline, the type of facilities needed to meet countywide objectives, makes recommendations on maintaining public control and management, and proposes an interim intergovernmental MOU. The Action Plan concludes that there is an immediate need to develop subregional processing facilities due to the approaching AB 939 diversion deadlines and the potential closure of Bailard Landfill in 1993. Each facility would be capable of processing a minimum of 250 tons of source separated materials per day, and of transferring residual waste for disposal. The facilities would be expanded to process mixed waste and conduct composting operations prior to the year 2000. The Plan recommends private operation of the facilities, with vendor selection accomplished through a competitive bid process. Bidders would be required to include options for both public and private ownership in their proposals. Determination for facility ownership would be made collectively by participating jurisdictions after review of vendor proposals. The intergovernmental MOU, administered by the AB 939 Local Task Force, is proposed for the limited purpose of jointly issuing the RFP for vendor facilities, evaluating proposals, and recommending vendors and contract terms. Signatories to the MOU, which will include the ten cities, the County of Ventura, and the Ventura Regional Sanitation District, will indicate an intent to commit their wasteflow - firm flow control commitments will be made after vendor selection. The MOU is intended to be an interim measure until such time that the new regional Waste Management Authority is in place. Once the new Authority receives final approval, it will be responsible for managing the development and operations of the subregional waste processing facilities. At the March 19 meeting, the Waste Commission reviewed the Plan and approved its release, along with the MOU, to the cities. Due to the short time -line, this item has not been reviewed by the Pubic Works and Facilities Committee but will be on their April 13 agenda. Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council: 1) Approve and authorize the Mayor to sign the Memorandum of Understanding between the ten Ventura County cities, the Waste Processing Facilities MOU April 6, 1992 Page 3 County of Ventura, and the Ventura Regional Sanitation District for development of regional waste processing facilities. 2) Receive the Ventura County Waste Commission's report, "Action Plan for Regional Waste Processing and Transfer Facility Implementation" and concur in its recommendations.
