MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Steven Kueny, City Manager
DATE: January 22, 2017 (CC Meeting of 02/07/17)
SUBJECT: Consider Status Report on Mission Statement, Priorities, Goals and
Objectives for Fiscal Year 2017/2018 and Fiscal Year 2018/2019
Attached are the City Council’s approved Mission Statement, Priorities, Goals and
Objectives for FY 2017/2018 and FY 2018/2019 adopted by the City Council in May 2017.
A formal review of the document only occurs in odd numbered years. New objectives can
be added as scheduled in May 2019. All objectives are placed in one of three categories
(0 to 2 years; 2 to 5 years; and 5+ years) based on their estimated time for completion with
all objectives under each category grouped by the department that has primary
responsibility for the objective. The document also indicates which objectives were Funded
(F), Not Funded (NF), or only require Staff Effort (SE).
The approved document includes a total of 120 objectives of which 63 were expected to be
completed within 2 years. The City Council identified 22 of the objectives as City Priority
Objectives. A written status report on the various priorities and objectives is not included
as part of this report. The City Council Quarterly 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. On May 17,
2017, the Council approved 54 items to remain on a list of Potential Objectives. The
Potential Objectives are attached to this report. This will also be considered in May 2019.
