AGENDA REPORT
1: 41 1/4-77n
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Steven Kueny, City Manager
DATE: May 6, 2016 (CC Meeting of May 18, 2016)
SUBJECT: Consider Mission Statement, Priorities, Goals and Objectives for
Fiscal Year 2015/2016 and Fiscal Year 2016/2017
BACKGROUND
The City Council has historically formally considered the proposed objectives in May
prior to review of the proposed Budget for the subsequent fiscal year. On May 20,
2015, the Council approved the Mission Statement, Priorities, Goals and Objectives for
Fiscal Year 2015/2016 and Fiscal Year 2016/2017 and directed a formal review occur
only in odd numbered years (next review will be May 2017). The document will not be
revised, and no objectives are supposed to be added until the next formal review.
Consistent with past practice, the Council considered a Status Report on this matter on
February 3, 2016; and on April 27, 2016, Council met with the Library Board, Arts
Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, and Planning Commission to discuss
current and potential objectives.
The document now has the objectives for each goal grouped by the Department that
has primary responsibility for the objective. As you know, some of the objectives have
been reassigned to another Department as part of a reorganization of assignments and
this will be addressed when the document is formally updated in May 2017.
DISCUSSION
With 122 objectives as well as routine and recurring work, occasional emergencies and
need to address unforeseen items, and reduced staff, only a relatively small number of
objectives are actually accomplished each year. Attachment A is a list of items
expected to be completed by June 30, 2016. Attachment B is a list of items that staff
expects to complete or substantially complete by June 30, 2017. This list does not
include expansion of the North Metrolink parking lot, which was inadvertently left off the
list of objectives. Attachment C is the document as approved by the Council on May 20,
2015, including the list of"Potential Objectives."

City Council Agenda Report
Re: Mission Statement, Priorities, Goals and Objectives for FY 2015/16 & FY 2016/17
May 6, 2016 (CC Meeting of May 18, 2016)
Page 2
As stated above, staff works on a number of items not considered objectives and may
work on lower priority objectives because of unanticipated events or opportunities, such
as a grant proposal, the community pool, or land use projects by other jurisdictions that
have impacts on the city. Another example in Fiscal Year 2015/2016 was a proposed
second dog park. While it was related to Goal IV.A., Objective 29, as follows:
"Evaluate feasibility for greater use of Country Trail Park by youth sports teams and
other potential uses including but not limited to disc golf, BMX or free-style bicycle
track, or dog park, including construction of a restroom facility,"
it took considerable staff effort to research and evaluate this option and the related ADA
concerns, which were not considered when the objective was conceived.
At the April 27, 2016, joint meeting with the Parks and Recreation Commission, two
items staff is working on but not yet formally taken to the Commission are:
1. Red curb along Mountain Trail Court adjacent to Mountain Meadows Park; and
2. Pickle Ball court(s).
Staff will continue to work on these matters. Another matter staff is beginning to work
on that is not an objective is to evaluate possible revisions to the Park Improvement
Fund zones. There was a recent change to State law that warrants evaluation of how
the City may designate use of the fees in lieu of park land dedication. This may allow
the City to use some of these funds for parks in areas with little or no development or
potential park fees.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the report.
