MEETING DISCLOSURES
1 Summary Notes
Santa Clara City Council Strategic Priority Session
Background
City Council met for a mid-year Strategic Priority “Check-in” Session on August 17, 2021. The session was designed to achieve three objectives:
1. Review and discuss City Council meeting management procedures and norms
2. Receive updates on budget/fiscal situation, procurement streamlining measures, organizational capacity, and customer service management process improvements
3. Review and validate priority items for 2021
City Council Meeting Management
The facilitator led a discussion on Council meeting management, separating the topic into procedures to help improve meeting efficiency and norms to promote civility and collegiality.
Council questions, comments and suggestions focused primarily on procedures for meeting efficiency. There was agreement that Council could take steps to avoid unnecessarily long meetings where agenda items are regularly deferred.
The following suggestions were discussed to improve efficiency:
• Ensure that Council questions and discussion are focused at the policy, not operational level. This entails knowing and adhering to the different roles and responsibilities that Council and staff assume (i.e. Council is responsible for setting policy; staff is responsible for implementing policy through administration, operations and disciplinary expertise). • Avoid pulling consent items unless there is a clear and compelling reason to do so. • Be brief and concise when speaking; avoid repeating points, long speeches, and asking for information that is available in the packet or other sources prior to the meeting. • Be judicious when requesting items be added to the agenda (see CP 030). • Do not feel obligated to speak on every item; it’s okay to take a pass, especially when your points have already been made.
Council agreed to pilot the following protocol for meetings as a way improve efficiency. Council will revisit and assess the effectiveness of the protocol at the Priority-Setting session in February 2022.
1. Council receives the staff report/presentation
2. The Mayor asks each Councilmember, one at a time, to ask their questions. All questions are asked before being answered.
3. Staff answers Council’s questions and any items that might have surfaced during public comment
4. The Mayor elicits public comment.
5. Each Councilmember explains how they are going to vote and why, if they choose to.
6. Motion and vote
2 Staff Updates
Budget and Fiscal Update
Kenn Lee, Finance Director, provided the fiscal update. The presentation addressed the current fiscal condition, the budget challenges that the city needs to confront, progress that has been made to date, and plans for next steps. The take-a-way message is that the City’s budget situation is “fragile,” due in large part to COVID-19, economic reductions and ongoing uncertainties.
Procurement Streamlining Measures
Director Lee and Mark Giovannetti, Purchasing Manager, described the background of Council- approved purchasing reforms, the current procurement governance structure, an extensive list of proposed changes, the potential impacts of these changes, and plans for next steps.
Organizational Capacity
City Manager Deanna Santana presented on organizational capacity, highlighting the drop off in capacity, measured in productively hours, between pre- and post-COVID periods. There are many factors driving this drop-off, some inside and some outside of Council’s control; all of them together create negative impacts on revenues while increasing the demand for services and employee time.
Efficiencies and Improved Workload & Customer Service Management City Manager Santana provided service request data, showing a substantial increase between FY 2019-20 and FY20-21, and reported on the process that will be used to manage resident and Council inquiries and requests, which involves using the My SantaClara app for common requests, and using the City Manager’s office to coordinate and route requests that prevent staff from working on everyday service delivery operations and Council directed priorities.
Council 2021 Priorities
Council reviewed the 16 priorities they approved at the February 2021 Priority-Setting session, and the 10 additional items that were added since then. They assessed each item, placing them in one of four categories:
1. Urgent/Top Priority: These are critical in the near-term, needing immediate focus and attention.
2. Important: These are important and will be included in staff’s work plans but not at the urgent/top priority level.
3. 2022: These are items for Council to consider at the next full Priority Session in 2022.
4. In Progress/Ongoing: These are items that staff has initiated and will continue to work on.
The matrix below provides the results of this activity, resulting in 24 total priorities (two items were combined; one additional item was eliminated; some carry-over items from February were placed in different category). Note that the top four items, classified as Urgent and Important, did not change.
