SUMMARY
Attached are the proposed Mission Statement, Priorities, Goals and Objectives for FY
2008/2009. It shows the proposed changes from FY 2007/2008 in legislative format. It
also includes the City Council designated "Top Ten (10) Priorities."
DISCUSSION
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. A written status
report on the various priorities and objectives is not included as part of this report. The
City Council Bimonthly 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.
On February 6, 2008, 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, and Planning Commission at separate
joint meetings on April 23, 2008.
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:
