ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
A. Updated FY 20-21 City Council Goals (page A-1)
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
On March 17, 2020, the City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2020-21 City Council
Goals based upon input provided at the February 12, 2020 workshop and March 4,
2020 meeting. That evening, the City Council agreed to change the annual goal-setting
process from a calendar year basis (January 1 to December 31) to a fiscal year basis
(July 1 to June 30). This will allow better alignment of the goal-setting process with the
City’s annual budget process in the future. The City Council also agreed to receive
1
quarterly updates rather than monthly as a “receive and file” item on the Regular portion
of the City Council agenda (rather than the Study Session).
Tonight, the City Council will receive its first quarterly status report on the goals by each
of the respective departments. The 6 current general categories of goals are as follows:
Public Safety: Maintain a high level of public safety with public engagement.
Infrastructure: Maintain and improve all public infrastructure (including
transportation systems, parking, utilities, storm drains, and sewers).
City Land & Facilities: Maintain and improve all City-owned properties.
Quality of Life: Maintain and improve the quality of life for RPV residents.
Citizen Involvement & Public Outreach: Engage residents and community
partners in assisting the City Council, City Committees/Commissions and City Staff
facilitate the decision-making process.
Government Efficiency & Transparency: Maximize the use of each tax dollar and
optimize services delivered to RPV residents.
The goal line items having the highest priority are highlighted in yellow, with the
understanding that the remaining items would be listed and considered at a later time,
including during the budget workshops. The attached goals highlighted in yellow exceed
the threshold bar and are considered equal in terms of priority based on public benefit,
available resources, including staff time and funds, and being realistic and achievable.
The attached goals table has been updated to reflect proposed revised date of
completion, completion status, or comments/status update. The updates to the goals
table are shown in red (Attachment A). It should be noted that at the March 17, 2020,
City Council meeting, the Los Angeles County Safer-at-Home Orders were in effect. As
a result, goals have been delayed and staff has assigned revised completion dates.
ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to the Staff recommendation, the following alternative actions are available for
the City Council’s consideration:
1. Provide direction to Staff for further modifications and clarifications of the
FY 20-21 City Council goals, and continue this matter to a future meeting
for approval.
