CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: February 29, 2024 FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Kristin Eriksson, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Council Goals Workshop
RECOMMENDATION
Receive an update on the mid-year implementation status of the FY 2023-24 Major City Goals work programs and provide direction to staff on potential changes to the FY 2023-25 Council Goals and particular areas of focus in implementing the goals. ____________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
On March 13, 2023, the Council adopted a set of Council Goals for FY 2023-25 following a goalsetting workshop conducted by the Council on March 6, 2023. The initial Council Goals were established in March 2017 to determine the highest priorities for the City organization to implement in the upcoming fiscal year 2017-18 and were updated each year thereafter.
Prior to the March 6, 2023 workshop, Council Members were asked individually to submit up to ten goal suggestions responding to the following question: What are the most important, highest priority things for the City of Grover Beach to achieve or advance over the next two years? These suggestions formed the foundation for the March 2023 goal-setting workshop where individual goal proposals that were similar in nature were captured in synthesized language and stated as one goal while others were revised for clarity. Prior to the Council Members’ submissions, public input on City priorities was received through an online survey and City Priorities Community Forum held virtually.
A total of 10 candidate goals were ultimately drafted for the Council’s consideration. After reviewing, rating and ranking the candidate goals, the Council adopted a set of collective goals organized into three priority categories:
• Major City Goals. These represent the most important, highest priority goals for the City to accomplish over the next two years, and as such, resources to begin achieving them should be included in the FY 2023-25 budget.
o Economic Development and Community Promotion
o Housing and Homelessness
o Public Safety
o Street Maintenance and Complete Streets
• Other Important Goals. Goals in this category are important for the City to accomplish, and resources to begin achieving them should be made available in the FY 2023-25 budget where feasible.
o Building and Facility Improvements
o Community Engagement
o Water Supply and Resiliency
Agenda Item No. 1
Staff Report: Council Goals Workshop Page 2
February 29, 2024
• Address as Resources Permit. While it is desirable to achieve these goals over the next two years, doing so is subject to current resource availability. o City and School Partnership
o Code Compliance
o Environmental Sustainability
Attachment 1 shows these three categories of goals, along with a descriptive statement for each goal. Following approval of these goals, staff developed FY 2023-24 work programs for each Major City Goal to identify and scope the goal so that appropriate resources are allocated, and progress can be measured in achieving the goal. This step is particularly important since full achievement of these goals typically extends beyond a single fiscal year. The draft Major City Goal work programs were presented to the Council on May 8, 2023 and finalized with the Council’s adoption of the FY 2023-25 budget on June 26, 2023.
Mid-Year Implementation of Council Goals
Attachment 2 is a mid-year implementation report showing the status to date of achieving these goals in FY 2023-24. There has been significant progress in carrying out these Major City Goals and Other Important Goals this fiscal year as shown in Attachment 3. Overall, 94% of the tasks identified for this year for the Major City Goals have been completed or are currently in progress as shown in the chart below categorized by each goal:
Goal Completed In Progress Deferred* Total
Economic Development 2 5 1 8
Housing & Homelessness 5 5 - 10
Public Safety 3 5 1 9
Street Maintenance & Complete
Streets 1 5 - 6
TOTAL 11 20 2 33
*Tasks shown as pending are anticipated to be implemented by the end of the fiscal year while tasks shown as deferred will be implemented in the future.
Below are highlights of this progress:
• Worked with the developer of the hotel project at 950 El Camino Real to complete building permits and construction has begun with an anticipated opening in spring 2025. • Continued to work with State Parks and the developer for the Grover Beach Lodge project permitting process.
• Contracted with Verdin Marketing to promote and manage the City’s tourism marketing brand “Visit Grover Beach”.
• Construction has begun for the mixed-use development at 402 West Grand Avenue with an anticipated completion date of fall 2024.
• Received Planning Commission approval for an additional mixed-use development at 401 West Grand Avenue and began processing a permit for a mixed-use development at 197 West Grand Avenue.
• Issued permits and began construction for the affordable housing project at South 13th and West Grand Avenue (the Cleaver and Clark Commons).
• Began efforts to apply for a pro-housing designation with the California Department of Housing and Community Development.
• Continued to work with the 5Cities Homeless Coalition to permit a 30-unit emergency shelter housing project on Barca Street and continued to coordinate on the Cabins for Change facility.
Staff Report: Council Goals Workshop Page 3
February 29, 2024
• Implemented the City’s updated camping ordinance to restrict the extent and scope of camping on public property with a noted decrease in individuals camping in open space. • Started a Wellness Program in the Police Department utilizing grant funding. • Created a regional Major Accident Investigation Team with the Police Departments of Arroyo Grande and Pismo Beach.
• Completed new governance and executive management structure for Five Cities Fire Authority.
• Executed a one-year temporary service contract with Oceano Community Services District and continued discussions with the City of Arroyo Grande and the County regarding future service in Oceano.
• Completed design of Measure K-14 street repair projects including portions of Ramona Avenue, Front Street, Saratoga, Beckett, North 2nd Street, North 9th Street, North 11th Street, North 12th Street, Brighton, Alma Court and Moss Court. • Began construction of Measure K-14 street repair project CIP 2295-16.
At the workshop, the staff lead(s) for each Major City Goal will present an overview of the accomplishments within the respective goal area as well as items that have not yet been achieved or deferred due to staff resource, workload constraints, or other factors. Staff will also highlight key policy/operational issues for the Council’s consideration and discussion.
Other Mid-Year Information
The City also conducted a bi-annual Community Survey in October 2023 and the Council saw a presentation on the overall very positive results of that survey at a meeting in January 2024.
Generally, the survey conveyed that a large majority of residents are satisfied with the quality of life in Grover Beach (79%) and with City services (75%). As in prior years, respondents placed importance on homelessness, street repairs and public safety. A majority of respondents were also satisfied with the City’s progress on Major City Goals with 73% indicating work on Economic Development and Community Promotion was good or fair, 66% indicating work on Housing and Homelessness was good or fair, 87% indicating that work on Public Safety was good or fair and 70% indicating that work on Street Maintenance and Complete Streets was good or fair. The full survey results presentation may be seen in Attachment 4.
Potential Changes to Goals for FY 2024-25
Following presentation and discussion of the implementation of the current Council Goals, staff is seeking Council input and direction in the following areas:
1. Are there any changes that the Council would like to make to the current goals? Potential changes could include revisions to the wording or placement of goals within the priority categories, deletion of existing goals, or identification of new ones.
2. Are there any key items to particularly focus on in FY 2024-25 in implementing the Council Goals? This direction would be useful for staff in implementing the Major City Goals next year while also framing the implementation of the Other Important Goals.
The Council’s guidance in these two areas is important in continuing the value and benefit of the Council’s goal-setting approach in the coming fiscal year. From the staff perspective, the list of prioritized Council Goals including a top tier of Major City Goals provides strong clarity of focus and sets expectations of what is most important to carry out to improve the community. These goals have a strong linkage to community priorities expressed through the initial input in early 2023 along with the recent community survey in fall 2023, which was presented to the Council on January 22, 2024. Staff recommends the Council continue to use the approach of having a Staff Report: Council Goals Workshop Page 4
February 29, 2024
prioritized list of Council Goals with a select number of highest priority goals. Pending Council’s direction on the goals, staff will update the Major City Goal work programs for the coming fiscal year FY 2024-25. Drafts of these work programs will be reviewed with the Council this spring prior to finalizing and implementing the work programs.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact from this agenda item as the cost of implementing specific Council Goals will be presented as part of developing work programs.
ALTERNATIVES
The Council has the following alternatives to consider:
1. Receive an update on the mid-year implementation status of the 2023-25 Council Goals and provide direction to staff on potential changes to the goals for FY 2024-25 and particular areas of focus in implementing the goals; or
2. Provide alternative direction to staff.

Despite efforts to promote pre-designed ADUs, the interest has not been observed with only four applications received and one permitted. This suggests there may be underlying factors contributing to the program’s lack of participation as
participants have indicated procuring a design professional has been difficult, that the desired model does not meet the orientation of the lot, and that they would prefer to design their own ADU and architectural style. Staff will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the ADU program through the remainder of the year, including participation rates, feedback, financial incentive options or programs.
Community Development Department staff has begun efforts to apply for a pro-housing designation. Staff will coordinate with neighboring jurisdictions recently awarded with the designation to identify opportunities to qualify. Staff anticipates submitting an application to HCD by late summer, 2024 with an award by the end of year.
