FROM: Jarad Hildenbrand, City Manager
1. SUBJECT
City of Orange Strategic Planning Session
2. SUMMARY
On November 26, 2024, the City Council adopted the Fiscal Years 2025-2030 Citywide Strategic Plan. The Citywide Strategic Plan includes six overarching Citywide goals and specific objectives to help achieve those goals over the five-year period. As a part of the Fiscal Years 2025-2030 Citywide Strategic Plan adoption, staff committed to conducting a strategic planning session at the beginning of each calendar year. As a living document, the purpose of the strategic planning session is to evaluate the current Fiscal Years 2025-2030 Citywide Strategic Plan and make necessary changes to ensure the plan remains germane to the Orange Community’s needs.
3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Receive and file a presentation from Baker Tilly representatives.
2. Work with Baker Tilly representatives and staff to evaluate current Fiscal Years 2025-2030 Citywide Strategic Plan objectives as well as the mission, vision, and value statements.
3. Provide direction to Baker Tilly representatives and staff on specific updates to the current Fiscal Years 2025-2030 Citywide Strategic Plan for future City Council adoption.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
None.
5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
The proposed recommendations support all goals and objectives detailed in the Fiscal Years 2025- 2030 Citywide Strategic Plan.
6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
Strategic plans are the culmination of different factors. They identify clear goals/objectives for a defined period while avoiding a singular focus on the City’simmediate needs. This suggests effective strategic plans are living documents that reflect an understanding of short and long-term needs, as well as the changing conditions that drive the agency’s focus.
On November 26, 2024, the City Council adopted the Fiscal Years 2025-2030 Citywide Strategic Plan (Plan). With a little more than a year having now passed since the Plan’sadoption, the strategic planning session will offer the City Council and public the opportunity to ensure the Plan remains germane to the Orange Community’s needs.
With this purpose in mind, it is recommended the City Council work with Baker Tilly representatives and City staff to discuss the current Plan objectives as well as the mission, vision, and value statements to identify necessary updates or modifications, ensuring the Plan remains both feasible City of Orange Printed on 2/2/2026Page 1 of 2

statements to identify necessary updates or modifications, ensuring the Plan remains both feasible and relevant.

The Goal Action Plan (GAP) is intended to guide the City Council and staff so the City of Orange may achieve the six goals identified in the Fiscal Years 2025-2030 Citywide Strategic Plan. As a part of the quarterly updates, the GAP identifies objectives, implementation strategies, timeframes, proposed funding sources, as well as an update column so the City Council and public may know what recent actions have been taken to accomplish each objective.
The objectives detailed in the GAP include the following information to ensure the City achieves each goal in an orderly fashion.
Table Definitions:
Fiscal Years 2025-2030 Citywide Strategic Plan Update: Goal Action Plan 1 Goals - Overarching priorities the City Council identified and were further developed during the Special City Council meetings.
Objective Number - Number to identify a particular objective with the first number aligning with the Goal number (e.g., Goal 2 would start with

Objective numbers with an asterisk* denote those objectives the department(s) have deemed as a “Need” vs. a “Want”. 2 Lead Departments - The primary department(s) responsible for completing the objective. 3 Objective - Brief description of what the respective department(s) would like to achieve. 4 Completion Timeframe - Short-term (1 Year), Mid-Term (1-3 Years), Long-term (3-5 Years). 5 Description and Status - Additional information on what the objective entails and what the respective department(s) has done, or proposes to do, to complete the objective.
