CITY OF MOORPARK
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Steven Kueny, City Manager
)7(----7' %/�
DATE: August 19, 1996 (CC Meeting of August 21)
SUBJECT: 1996/97 Goals and Objectives
Background
At its June 22 Town Hall Meeting, the City Council considered and approved a list of seven
Citywide goals that reflect the City's overall commitment to its Mission Statement. The Council
then directed staff to identify approximately ten or fewer of the highest priority objectives that
support each of the approved Citywide goals and report back.
Attached to this Council Report is the draft list of Citywide goals and objectives for 1996/97.
Each City department reviewed their original draft list of objectives and identified those objectives
they believed to be the highest in priority and those which will most assist the City in achieving
the adopted Citywide goals. Because of the number of projects currently planned for the future
and the demand to implement a number of new ones, staff opted to provide a larger of objectives
for most of the Citywide goals. With further consideration by the Council, it's anticipated that the
number of objectives can be reduced to a number closer to ten for each Citywide goal.
The objectives are listed under the appropriate Citywide goal; the order of the objectives does not
denote the order of priority. The department with responsibility for the implementation of each
objective is noted in abbreviated form in parentheses after the objective; e.g., City Manager's
Office is shown as (CM). Although there may be more than one department tasked with
implementation of a specific objective, only the department with primary responsibility is shown
(except for a few objectives).
The asterisks that were used on previous drafts to denote level of priority have not been included
in this draft. Lastly, the wording of a few of the objectives has been slightly amended for
clarification or combined with another objective, there are a few new objectives, and one past
objective was reinstated (the five-year fiscal report).
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Goals and Objectives for FY 1996/97.
