MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL `
AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Steven Kueny, City Manager
DATE: May 7, 2013 (CC Meeting of May 15, 2013)
SUBJECT: Consider Mission Statement, Priorities, Goals and Objectives for
Fiscal Year 2013/2014
SUMMARY
The proposed FY 2013/2014 Mission Statement, Priorities, Goals and Objectives are
attached. The proposed changes from FY 2012/2013 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 $800,000 General Fund operating deficit in FY
2013/2014. 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, TDA revenues that support transit and street programs,
and the need for increased General Fund support of those services as well as Parks
and LMDs. 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 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.
On March 20, 2013, the City Manager presented a report to the City Council pertaining
to the reassignment of certain departmental responsibilities; promoting the current
Parks and Landscape Manager to Parks and Recreation Director and backfilling the
Manager position with a lower cost Superintendent position; and the Assistant City

Manager would become primarily responsible for accomplishing specific objectives and
special projects and assignments until his retirement in 2014. The City Council
approved the recommended actions described above.
In addition, in this same report, the City Manager indicated reassignments between
departments were being evaluated. At this time, the reassignments will include:
1. Moving the Assistant City Manager position into the City Manager's
Department;
2. Moving Economic Development (including the remaining non-financial
activities of the former Moorpark Redevelopment Agency), Affordable
Housing and Business Registrations from the Community Development
Department to the City Manager's Department, including the
Redevelopment/Economic Development Manager (to be retitled in the
near future) and Administrative Secretary positions;
3. Moving Sustainability, CDBG and Property Management from the
Community Development Department to the Parks, Recreation and
Community Services Department, including the Management Analyst
position;
4. Library Services and Emergency Management will be reassigned from the
Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department to the
Administrative Services Department, including a Senior Management
Analyst position.
These changes and related funding sources will yield an annual savings of over
$100,000 for the General Fund, which will be addressed as part of the FY 2013/2014
proposed budget. The reassignments are addressed in the departmental assignments
for the objectives.
As of February 1, 2012, AB 1x 26 became law and all Redevelopment Agencies in
California were dissolved. This same legislation created a Successor Agency to each
Redevelopment Agency which was to be the City or County that created it unless that
entity opted not to serve in that capacity. The legislation also allowed the affected City
or County to elect to serve as the Successor Housing Agency.
On January 4, 2012, the City Council adopted a Resolution designating the City as both
the Successor Agency and Successor Housing Agency of the Redevelopment Agency
of the City of Moorpark. The purpose of both Successor Agencies is to dispose of
assets (primarily real property) and pay State approved enforceable obligations such as
225

debt service and tax increment payments to other taxing entities. In the case of the
Housing Successor Agency, the ability to develop affordable housing on real property
assets remains but funds in the Low/Moderate Income Housing Fund were forfeited. As
a consequence of the dissolution of the City's Redevelopment Agency, a number of
objectives were deleted, modified, or moved to a lower priority in FY 2012/2013.
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 6, 2013, 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 two separate joint meetings on April 10 and April 24, 2013. An excerpt
of the February 6 minutes is attached.
The objectives in support of the seven adopted 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 119 proposed FY 2013/2014 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 119 proposed objectives, 83 are in the 0 to 2 years' category, 21 are in the 2
to 5 years' category, and 15 are in the 5+ years' category. There were 122 objectives in
FY 2012/2013.
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 has 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."
