Subject: Recommendation by the Council Priority Setting Ad Hoc to
INTRODUCTION
This item will provide an overview to the City Council of the discussion which occurred at the July 9, 2024, Council Priority Setting Ad Hoc (Vice Mayor Nazarian and Councilmember Corman). Staff is requesting the City Council provide direction and/or concurrence on some of the items which were discussed at that meeting. Additionally, City Council is asked to provide suggestions on overarching strategic initiative areas.
DISCUSSION
The City Council Priority Setting Sessions have evolved over numerous years. They began as a lengthy discussion on priorities with annual objectives in order to inform the budget process and work for staff to perform. In recent years, they have evolved to more of an informative process for the City Council. While the process has generally been very productive each year, there is always room to look at ways to enhance the process so the City Council Priority Setting Session can be more transparent and more accessible to residents while effectively guiding the work of City staff.
As such, at the May 21 City Council meeting, the City Council was informed, via a C item report, that the Mayor had established a Council Priority Setting Ad Hoc (“Ad Hoc”), comprised of Vice Mayor Nazarian and Councilmember Corman. This Ad Hoc met on July 9, 2024, to examine the City Council Priority Setting process to see if improvements can be made (Attachment 1). The Ad Hoc recommended that the priorities be grouped into hierarchical priorities as outlined below. Additionally, the Ad Hoc recommended that priorities should be achievable, measurable, and action oriented.
Strategic Priorities
For the purposes of this report, the overarching category will be called strategic priorities (of which there would be six to seven). Under the strategic priorities would be goals. For each strategic priority, there could be multiple goals the City Council may wish to achieve. Then for each goal, there would be multiple work plan items that would be measurable, action oriented, and achievable. An example of this approach is below:
Restructure the Annual Priority Setting Process
Attachment: 1. July 9, 2024 Priority Setting Process Ad Hoc Report Meeting Date: August 6, 2024
Strategic Priority: Enhance Community Health and Safety: The City will consistently provide exemplary health and safety services which meet the needs of the community.
Goal 1: Address Homelessness in the Community related to mental health and permanent, supportive housing (100% completed)
Work Plan 1: Partner with Step Up on Second to provide 30 scattered site housing units for unhoused individuals in the community.
Update: Partnership with Step Upon Second formalized. 15 individuals housed so far and 15 units are available as needed. 100% complete.
Work Plan 2: Hire two Los Angeles County clinicians to work with two Beverly Hills Police Department officers to form a Mental Health Evaluation Team to assist with unhoused individuals who may be experiencing crises or need to be evaluated as a danger to themselves or others.
Update: Both clinicians have been hired and are partnered with BHPD Officers.
In the last 6 months, the team has evaluated 15 individuals and 5 have been transported under 5150 holds (danger to self or others) 100% complete.
Goal 2: Complete Phase 2 of Real Time Watch Center (50% completed) Work Plan 1: Implement new software systems which will allow for privately owned cameras to be “ingested” into the Real Time Watch Center Update: 2 private cameras have been added to the system as a pilot program which has highlighted the need for upgrades to the CAD RMS System. These upgrades are underway but will delay the implementation of this work plan item by 3 months.**1(50% complete)
The progress on the work plan items would be reported back the City Council at least biannually and could become the basis of an online reporting system to provide transparency to the residents on the work being done on the strategic initiatives and goals set by the City Council.
The Ad Hoc had consensus around having six or seven strategic priorities under which there would be clearly identifiable goals with action-oriented work plan items to provide direction to staff. The Ad Hoc recommended the individual work plan items be achievable over the course of one to two years and all aspirational or “on hold” work plan items should not be included.
Some of the potential strategic priorities mentioned by the Ad Hoc under which the various goals and action-oriented work plan items could reside include (1) Public Safety and (2) Plans (e.g. Complete Streets Plan). The Ad Hoc mentioned Mayoral Initiatives could be folded into another strategic priority.
Other potential strategic priorities may revolve around the following themes:
**The above listed strategic priority, goals, work plan and updates are for illustrative purposes only.
Meeting Date: August 6, 2024
• Provide a high quality of life (this could potentially embrace the concept of plans conducted by departments, e.g. Complete Streets, and Mayoral initiatives) • Ensure economic sustainability
• Practice environmental stewardship
• Practice Effective and Transparent Governance
The Ad Hoc concurred that the City Council should be consulted on what the major strategic initiatives should be for the future City Council Priorities; therefore staff seeks input from the City Council today on what the six or seven strategic initiatives should be.
Drafting the Goals
Once the City Council agrees on the larger, strategic initiatives, the Ad Hoc recommended the City Council allow the Ad Hoc to work with staff to draft the goals and/or work plan items for each strategic priority. As progress is made, staff will return to the City Council with updates such that the City Council will still be able to provide guidance to the Ad Hoc.
Timing for Future City Council Priority Setting Sessions Additionally, there was a discussion of when the annual City Council Priority Setting Process should occur. The Ad Hoc recommended the process begin in October or November in order to help inform the budget process. Additionally, the Ad Hoc requested quarterly or biannual check-ins with the City Council, similar to the budget updates performed by the Finance Department. Additionally, the check-in could take place in April so that the priorities can be tweaked before the final budget is approved and as each Mayor starts their term. This would help ensure the goals and work plan items are still relevant to the City Council and achievable. During the discussion, the Ad Hoc also emphasized that work plan items needed to be flexible so staff and the City Council could pivot should an emerging situation occur which needs to be addressed immediately.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no anticipated fiscal impact on the budget at this time.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council receive information on updating the City Council Priority Setting process as well as provide direction to the Ad Hoc and staff on next step.

Examining Priority Setting Process
TO:
FROM:DATE:
SUBJECT:
For a number of years the City Council has engaged in a generally fruitful annual priority setting process. The process has evolved over time and while it is informative and more efficient than in the past, staff recommends that the Council ad hoc provide feedback on possible enhancements to the process so that priority setting can be more transparent and accessible to residents and more effective in guiding the work of City staff.Different Ways that Organizations PlanPriority setting is an important component of organizational planning for a number of reasons, including focusing the organization on what is important, determining where time and resources should (and shouldn’t) be spent, limiting the number of “fly in” projects/programs, improvingdecision making, measuring success, etc. There are different approaches to establishing priorities for an organization. Traditionally many organizations have undertaken a strategic planning process to establish overarching goals and priorities. This process generally involves establishing a vision and mission for the organization, determining its strengths, weaknesses, opportunitiesand challenges, gathering feedback from stakeholders, establishing objectives and goals, etc.
The City undertook a strategic planning process about 10 years ago, and City departments have also undertaken similar processes.1 It is important to recognize that undertaking an effectivestrategic planning effort requires organizational commitment. While strategic planning can be effective, it can take a long time to develop the plan and frequently results in a long document than people don’t always take the time to read. The worst outcome of a strategic planning process is to dedicate the resources to developing the plan, only to put it on the shelf.
City Planning Processes
This is not to say that the City does not undertake significant planning efforts. The annual budgetdevelopment is essentially a planning process because it determines where City funding will bespent. The operating budget contains program goals for the divisions of each department.2 Furthermore, the Capital Improvement Program prioritizes projects that will be completed.
Additionally, the City Council adopts area-specific plans regularly. For example, over the last few years the Council has approved plans for complete streets, economic sustainability, strategic plans and/or management analyses for departments, etc.; however, most of the work plan items from these plans are not referenced in the current Council priorities, and as a result, Council and the community don’t always get updates or outcomes of these efforts. Furthermore, the partner 1For example, the Community Services Department developed a 3 year strategic plan in 2019https://www.beverlyhills.org/Documentcenter/View/172/Communjty-Servjces-3-year-Strategic-planPresentation-PDF 2 An example is Attachment 1 of the Public Works division work plans from the 2024-25 proposed budget document. agencies (Chamber, CVB and RDC), Beverly Hills NextGen and many of the City Commissions develop annual work plans, but reporting on the success of these efforts doesn’t always take place because these plans are not referenced in the priorities that are set. Without reporting and discussion, it is difficult to determine areas for improvement.
As a result, the Council liaisons are asked to consider developing an umbrella priority setting process which incorporates some aspects of these plans so that they are reported on regularly.
Current Priority Setting ProcessOver the last few years, the City Council has conducted an annual priority setting session. For fiscal year 23-24, 45 priorities were identified by the Council.3 Of these 45 items, there is a mix of specific items (e.g. Public Works Matrix Audit), general goal areas (e.g. technology), routine work that occurs every year (e.g. business attraction), and projects that are on hold where no work is intended to occur for the fiscal year (Rodeo Permanent Bistro Seating). In general, organizations do not have this many priorities, or they are grouped into general, action-oriented goal areas withspecific work plans associated with them. Additionally, they are generally focused on work plan items that are achievable over a certain amount of time and measurable for their success. For example, instead of having “technology” as a goal area, the goal might be “Improve Efficiencyand Safety Through Technology”, and work plan items might be to “Create a new website for theCity which generates 10% more page impressions by 2026” or “Ingest 100 private securitycameras into the Real Time Watch Center by the end of fiscal year 2025.”Generally, the priorities for organizations dictate where resources should be focused; however, in 2023-2024, the main priority for the police and fire departments, which comprise over 50% of thegeneral fund budget, was “public safety”; whereas the other departments in the City were tasked with 44 of the 45 priorities.As indicated previously, an important aspect of priority setting is to be able to track, measure and report on the status and success of the priorities. Not only does this allow for evaluation ofprojects to determine their success, but it helps to provide for accountability, program improvement, as well as transparency. This is not to say that the City does not track projects andperformance, but there are not always measurements, time frames or regular reporting opportunities assigned to the priorities.4
TimingWhile the City budget process kicks off internally in the fall (for example, November 2022), the priority setting exercise takes place in the spring (for example, April 2023). This timing does not allow for new or changed priorities to be adequately captured in the budget. As a result, theannual budget does not always reflect the priorities of the City Council. The liaisons are asked toconsider the timing of the priority setting exercise.Sample Approaches Attached5 are some examples of ways in which different cities have approached their goals and priorities, along with some analysis of the pros and cons of each model. Some models are simple and straightforward, such as the City of Tracy City Council Strategic Priorities document.Some are more complex, such as the City of Corona which uses a software platform to track the progress of the priorities and to report this progress to the public via their website.

Please see the attached (#3) monthly reports generated by the Beverly Hills Police and Fire Departments as examples of tracking activities that occur.

Recommendation
The Council ad hoc members are asked to examine the City’s priority setting process to see if improvements can be made. Some aspects to consider are:
--whether to create an overarching umbrella list of priorities that guide the City’s workplan--whether to engage in some sort of planning process to inform the priorities--whether priorities should be achievable, measurable and action oriented--whether the timing of the priority setting session should occur at a different time of year--any other feedback the ad hoc would like to provide on the process.
It is important to note that adopting priority setting approaches similar to those of other cities can be a substantial undertaking, so obtaining universal buy in to any proposed changes will be animportant component. 3 of 3
