February 23, 2006 (CC Meeting of March 1, 2006)
SUBJECT: Consider Status Report on Mission Statement, Priorities, Goals and
Objectives for Fiscal Year 200512006 and Direction for Fiscal Year
2006/2007
Attached are the City Council's approved Mission Statement, Priorities, Goals and
Objectives for FY 2005/2006. In approving this document, the Council included a list of
top ten (10) priorities, which consists.of thirty -five (35) of the one hundred ten (110)
identified objectives. Also attached is a list of the objectives by department.
As in past 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. A
written status report on the various priorities and objectives is not included as part of
this report. The City Council Monthly 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.
Since 2001, the Council has reviewed the objectives prior to preparation of the budget
with the purpose of having more correlation between the Council approved objectives
and City Manager proposed budget.
It has been our practice to maintain a secondary list of objectives. In prior years,
several items have been elevated from this list to approved objectives by the Council.
In July 2005, the Council approved a list of 35 items to remain on a list of Potential
Objectives. The list of Potential Objectives is attached to this report. For convenience,
eight (8) additional Potential Objectives beginning with No. 36 are added to that list for
Council consideration.
