RPVCCA_CC_SR_2015_01_20_02_City_Council_Goal_Setting_ExcerciseCITY OF MEMORANDUM RANCHO PALOS VERDES TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM: CAROLYNN PETRO, AICP, ACTING CITY MANAGER DATE: JANUARY 20, 2015 SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL GOAL -SETTING EXERCISE FOR 2015 Project Manager: Kit Fox, AICP, Senior Administrative Analyst RECOMMENDATION Review the status of the City Council Goals and Priorities for 2014, and discuss and provide direction regarding City Council Goals and Priorities for 2015. BACKGROUND During the first quarter of 2014, the City Council participated in a series of goal -setting exercises facilitated by Dr. Allan Colman of The Closers Group, LLC, and culminating in the adoption of 2014 City Council Goals and Priorities and a Mission, Vision and Core Values Statement on February 18, 2014 (see attachments). Tonight, Staff presents an update on the status of the 2014 goals and priorities, and seeks direction from the City Council in setting new and/or revised goals and priorities for 2015. DISCUSSION Since the adoption of the current goals and priorities last February, Staff has presented monthly status updates on them as a part of each month's Study Session agenda, generally at the second City Council meeting of each month. The most -recent update is attached for reference, and includes activities through the end of the 2014 calendar year. Based upon this most -recent update, Staff believes that some of the 2014 goals have been met, as summarized below: Public Safety and Traffic Control — Goal 2: Continue Forging Close City Relationships with Sheriff's Department • Regional City Managers (RPV, RHE & RH) meeting monthly with Captain Bolin to discuss current law enforcement -related issues and concerns • Lomita Sheriffs Station continuing to regularly attend City events, Traffic Safety Committee meetings and homeowners' association meetings 2-1 MEMORANDUM: City Council Goal -Setting Exercise for 2015 January 20, 2015 Page 2 Citizen Involvement and Public Outreach — Goal 1: Continue Citizen Involvement in Infrastructure Goal -Setting Process • Infrastructure Management Advisory Committee (IMAC) appointed and began meeting in December 2014 Government Efficiency, Accountability, Fiscal Control, Transparency and Oversight — Goal 2: Council to Improve Conduct and Efficiencies (JPIA Guidelines, Matrix Recommendations, etc.) • City Council reviewed and approved Matrix Report status update in April 2014 • City Council decided not to conduct follow-up with JPIA in April 2014 Parks and Recreation Programs — Goal 2: Implementation of On -Line Access to Recreation Programs and Space Rentals • Completed "go -live" for Active. Net software in 2014 Parks and Recreation Programs — Goal 3: Continue with Shared Use of PVPUSD and City Facilities • Open Gym Nights at Miraleste Intermediate School initiated in 2014 Intergovernmental Issues — Goal 2: Revisit Council Policy on Upcoming Legislation • Revisions to City Council Policy No. 29 reviewed and approved in March 2014 While this may seem like a fairly short list, it should be noted that the majority of the goals are described using terms such as "continue," "expand" and "improve," making it difficult to determine when a goal has been actually completed. Therefore, the City Council may wish to consider whether to remove some of these achieved 2014 goals from the list, or continue them in 2015. The remaining 2014 goals are either partially completed, or are on-going initiatives that the City Council may wish to carry over into 2015. Staff seeks direction from the City Council regarding revisions to the goals for 2015, and will present revised goals for the City Council's adoption at a future meeting. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION As the City Council may also recall, Staff presented a status report on the implementation of the 2013 Matrix Report recommendations during the first quarter of 2014. Many of these recommendations are related to the City Council's goals and priorities as well. Staff intends to present another status update on the Matrix Report during the first quarter of 2015. CONCLUSION In conclusion, Staff recommends that the City Council review the status of the City Council Goals and Priorities for 2014, and discuss and provide direction regarding City Council Goals and Priorities for 2015. 2-2 MEMORANDUM: City Council Goal -Setting Exercise for 2015 January 20, 2015 Page 3 FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with the annual review of City Council Goals and Priorities.
