Process
City of Alameda Strategic Planning Retreat #27
What We Heard from Staff Focus Groups: Work Management
● Overall staff see the value in a citywide strategic plan; some have been asking for one for many years
● Staff hope it will help the City be more proactive instead of reactive ● Many staff emphasized the importance of retention and succession planning as critical to the success of the plan’s objectives
● Staff would like information from City Council and upper management on the “why” of each priority and the “how” in terms of funding and staffing ● Staff feel strongly that non-management staff are consulted on the project lists to further define project details/needs/constraints
● Want to see more understanding of the unique work that each department is doing reflected in the way priority projects are assigned Process
8 Review and Confirm Draft Final Vision
9 Draft Vision
City of Alameda Strategic Planning Retreat #210
Alamedans of all ages, cultures and backgrounds feel supported and engaged in meaningful community and civic opportunities to continually make Alameda a better place to live. We celebrate and embrace our most important asset - our people - in everything we do.
New and existing households feel prioritized and welcomed into our community. Alameda is known as a low-crime community thanks to our well-resourced public safety services. Residents are proud to have safe, beautiful, clean green and blue spaces for play and recreation, as well as high quality schools, businesses, restaurants, and public events and art that reflect the vibrancy of their neighborhoods. All Alamedans can afford housing that meets their needs, including homeless individuals. People seeking assistance have access to ongoing social service support.
Residents and visitors have a variety of accessible transportation options, including walking, biking, public transit, and cars, to get them safely to more destinations on the island and across the Bay Area, reducing local traffic congestion and accidents.
Alameda is more resilient to climate change and rising water levels, external factors that uniquely impact its island community. Alameda residents and businesses feel prepared and trust in local agencies to keep them safe during future natural disasters, including earthquakes and flooding.
Through fiscal responsibility and good governance, Alameda leverages its many assets - in housing, business, transportation, architecture, recreation, and natural resources – that contribute to the long-term betterment of its residents and environment. One of its biggest infrastructure projects, Alameda Point, is becoming a fully activated community, contributing to the economic, cultural and recreational landscape of the entire city. Overall, Alamedans are proud and hopeful for the island.

Vision
City of Alameda Strategic Planning Retreat #213
City Council
● Make the statement more
proactive
● Use “unhoused” instead of
homeless
● Add “supportive services” after
public safety
● Reference architectural
heritage
● Emphasize we are a place for
children and the elderly to
thrive
● Say “in the City” instead of “on
the Island”
Executive Management Team
● Remove qualifying language like “feel”
● Not realistic that everyone will be able to
afford housing
● Say “unhoused” instead of homeless
● Include people in danger of losing
housing, as well as unhoused
● “In addition to cars” instead of “and cars”
● Include “libraries” in the list with schools
● Alameda point is more than an
infrastructure project
● Add reference to our responsibility to
regional/global issues like AFFH and
reducing GHG emissions
What We Heard from Staff Focus Groups
● Overall staff feel the Vision includes the appropriate focus points ● All staff need to feel supported, not only public safety ● Referring to people being “welcomed” and then talking about crime in the next sentence seem to conflict
● Remove qualifying language and be more direct/assertive ● Replace “accidents” with “collisions”
● State unhoused individuals “are receiving the resources they need” ● Be careful how we reference “old Alameda” and “new Alameda” (Alameda Point) so as not to be divisive

Priorities
21 What We Heard from the Survey & Focus Groups: Priorities Council
● Question about change from “Housing & Homelessness” to “House All Alamedans” Executive Management Team
● These are the right priorities, but will need additional revenue streams to achieve goals.
Staff
● Overall staff feel these are the correct priority areas, although some are beyond our control or do not currently have enough funding/staff.
● Community Safety and Services - suggestion to split this up into two priority areas.
Priorities
22 What We Heard from the City Council (Survey): Objectives Community Safety & Services
● City government doesn't “offer educational programs.” (x2) ○ Change to “social and recreational” or “recreational and educational” ● Add: Protect bedroom community in economically vibrant environment ● Add: Promote architectural heritage
● “Maintain” instead of “Improve” response times
● Add Mental health and “supportive services”
Housing
● Add back “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” and housing for teachers Infrastructure
● “Support our existing businesses” belongs under Economic Development (can move) ● Remove “support businesses” - we do this by providing services and infrastructure Governance
● “Integrate” instead of “champion” Diversity, Equity and Inclusion ● Use “Accessible” instead of “Belonging”
