Title
City Council to review, discuss, and finalize 2025 Critical Business Outcomes.
Body
BACKGROUND:
Each year, prior to the budget preparation, the City Council and the City Staff work together to develop the City’s strategic alignment to ensure the best use of time, money, and people by allocating resources for issues that will have the most impact. In this process, the City leadership reviews and discusses the tenets of the plan and provides directions to City staff in finalizing the strategic plan.
During budget preparation, the City Council and staff use the strategic plan as a guide for budget decisions, specifically to compare the plan’s priorities versus the budget priorities. In this manner, a strategic plan empowers the City Council and staff to make the right decisions and take the right actions.
DISCUSSION:
This agenda item aims to review the Critical Business Outcomes (CBOs) 2024 following the City Council Strategic Planning Retreat held on February 8, 2024. During this Retreat, the City Council reviewed the Critical Business Outcomes of 2024, received presentations from Department heads, and discussed the 2025 CBOs. However, there are still pending discussions surrounding the review and finalization of 2025 CBOs.
Critical Business Outcomes (CBOs) are short-term goals covering one - to three-year priorities identified by the City Council. A healthy strategic plan generally has between five to seven CBOs, with a maximum of ten.
During today’s session, the Council will review, discuss, and finalize CBOs for 2025. The City Council will provide guidance to the staff on whether to keep the CBOs as they are, modify them, remove them, or add new CBOs.
