CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION REPORT

TITLE: INTRODUCTION OF 2024-2027 CITY COUNCIL STRATEGIC PLAN In March 2020, the City Council adopted the 2021-24 Strategic Plan, setting high-level aspirational goals and priorities for the community over a three-year period. The document serves as the foundation for policy-making and staff administration of the Council’s directives. As demonstrated in quarterly updates to the City Council and community, significant progress has been made on each of the Plan’s goals and objectives.
With Fiscal Year 2022-23 coming to a close, it is time for the Council to consider updates and revisions to the document to ensure it reflects current conditions. To begin the process, an extensive staff engagement and participation process was conducted, including multiple half-day workshops, surveys, and other information-gathering exercises. The issues and needs identified by staff were compiled and presented to the City Council in the form of an anonymous survey with open-ended and ranked-choice questions, with the results included as an attachment to this report. These survey results, combined with staff feedback and previous Council directives contained in significant long-term policy directives like the General Plan, Housing Element, Climate Action Plan, and Homelessness Action Plan, inform the draft 2024-2027 Strategic Plan presented in this report.
The City Council met in Study Session on March 7 to discuss the draft plan and provide input. The Council’s feedback has been incorporated into the attached revision for discussion this evening. At the Council’s direction, staff will prepare the revised 2024- 2027 City Council Strategic Plan for action concurrent with the upcoming Fiscal Year 2023-2024 municipal budget.
