Approved By: __________________________
City Manager
Staff Recommendation:

Background:

During Fiscal Year 2017-18 the Hughson City Council and staff undertook a comprehensive update of the Council’s goals and objectives process. This included holding a public workshop to assist in determining the City’s priorities, values, and vision for the community to help reset the City’s goal-setting process. On February 13, 2018, the Hughson City Council approved updated vision and mission statements and a set of values that reflected the City’s desire for the future of Hughson and indicate how the City will carry out its duties to achieve that future.

The Council also adopted a list of goals and accompanying action steps to set forth the priority programs and projects the City expected to accomplish and how it would focus its resources.

Since 2018 the Council has reviewed a Goals Report in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2023 to ensure the goals align with allocated resources during the annual budget process and to establish the City’s priorities for the upcoming year.

The City Manager and staff are responsible for:
• Implementing the strategic plan, its vision, mission, and goals. • Developing and maintaining administrative processes.
• Implementing, maintaining, and assessing service delivery and service levels as set out by Council priorities.

The strategic planning process included a review of the 2022 calendar year’s progress toward the current goals set by the City Council; a current environmental scan was reviewed to assist the City Council and staff in understanding internal and external factors that influence the City; a situational analysis was discussed during the workshop reviewing the strengths, weaknesses (challenges), opportunities, and threats (SWOT Analysis); and community feedback received in 2021 during the General Plan Update Process was reviewed, this feedback was received through surveys and in-person workshops.

The City Council then reviewed the City’s current Vision, Mission, and Values.

Vision: To preserve Hughson’s unique spirit, heritage, and character, while creating an undeniably great place to be.

In addition to the strategic priorities that the City Council approves, the City staff has designated strategies as “short-term”, which include actions that we anticipate will be accomplished over the next 12 to 24 months, “long-term”, which we anticipate completion over a multi-year period and “continuous” as strategies that are either in motion currently or will be put in motion and continued over the long-term. As discussed in the Strategic Planning sessions, there are always more priorities to be accomplished than there are time and resources (funding and staffing) to accomplish them. Therefore, prioritization selection criteria will be determined from the following guidelines:
 The work is mandated by the State (or other agency); the City could be fined or face similar consequences if the work is not completed.  The City is significantly committed financially to the project.  The work protects the public health or safety of residents.  The work will assist the City in achieving fiscal sustainability.  The work will generate revenue, grants or other funding.  The work will promote job creation or investment in the community.  The work will prevent higher costs from deferred maintenance.

New projects will continue to be considered along with funding at City Council meetings.

Fiscal Impact:

The current recommendation to approve the City Council’s 2023 – 2028 Strategic Priorities does not have a fiscal impact. As each project is brought to the City Council for approval, the resources (funding and staffing) needed to complete the project will be considered at that time.
