Department Name: Finance
Cost Center: 2001
For Agenda of: February 6, 2021
Placement: Council Goal-Setting
Workshop
Estimated Time: 5.5 hours
FROM: Derek Johnson, City Manager
Prepared By: Brigitte Elke, Finance Director
SUBJECT: 2021-23 FINANCIAL PLAN PROCESS: COUNCIL GOAL SETTING
WORKSHOP
RECOMMENDATION
1. Consider information and community feedback (to-date) for deliberation during the goal-
setting process and develop Major City Goals and identify related desired outcomes for the
2021-23 Financial Plan: and
2.Direct Staff to return to the City Council in April 2021 with recommended preliminary work
programs and Capital Improvement Plan and related budget appropriations required to operate
core services of the various departments.
DISCUSSION
The Council Goal-Setting meeting is one of the most important steps of the financial planning
process where Council Members will collaboratively develop the City’s Major City Goals for the
2021-23 Financial Plan. All prior staff reports related to the 2021-23 Financial Planning process
and community feedback on priorities will be linked in this report for reference. The Council will
use this information as well as each individual Council Members’ candidate goals to develop up
to five Major City Goals. These goals will guide staff in the preparation the budget and
recommended Major City Goal work program allocations for the 2021-23 Financial Plan.
Background
Since early November 2020, there have been a variety of opportunities for community members
to provide input to the City Council to enable them to establish the Major City Goals. These
opportunities are highlighted on the following chart and include input from City Advisory Bodies,
a Community Priorities Survey, a notice to over 150 community groups and individuals and a
virtual Community Forum on January 14, 2021.
Packet Page 1
Over 160 community members attended the virtual Community Forum which was noticed as a
Joint Session of the City Council and Revenue Enhancement Oversight Commission. Live polling
was provided, and 11 breakout/input stations were hosted by staff and other experts to field
questions and take input. The meeting concluded with public comment and some general live
polling questions.
The input from the virtual Community Forum was then organized by the various breakout/input
stations to develop the online Community Forum Survey (Survey). The Survey provided an
additional opportunity for input for both attendees and for those that were not able to attend the
Community Forum. The Survey featured a ‘dot exercise’, similar to previously held Community
Forums, allowing participants to place a maximum of 10 dots on their top ideas.
Survey Participation & Results
The Survey was open from January 15th through January 25th and received a total of 634 individual
survey responses, representing nearly 32 hours of public comment. The City utilized several
outreach methods to notify the community, including City news and e-notifications, the January
community newsletter, City website, and social media. It is important to note that the Survey is
not a “scientific survey or “statistically representative” and as such, caution should be used when
interpreting the results. Nonetheless, providing an online survey after the Community Forum has
been the historic practice and the results are useful—especially when viewed in conjunction with
the other forms of feedback the Council has received in this process— in gaining additional insight
into the wishes, views, and concerns of the community.
The following charts summarize the top themes from the Survey and additional analysis is
available on Open City Hall (www.slocity.org/opencityhall) and all survey responses are included
as Attachment A (Reading File).
Packet Page 2
Priorities identified as ‘Other’ are shown below:
The Survey also included a question on the types of services and projects the Local Revenue
Measure should fund during the next two years, building on the input received from the
Community Forum. The following table shows the results of that question:

Results of the Community Priorities Survey
Prior to the Community Forum and subsequent Community Forum Survey, the City conducted a
Community Priorities Survey that ended December 15. A total of 1,285 individual survey
responses were received, representing 64 hours of public comment. Chart 4 summarizes the top
themes for each question.
Format
The Council will submit candidate goals in advance of the meeting based on community input
from various forums (as outlined above). Based upon the candidate goals submitted by the Council
Members, the facilitator will guide the Council in discussion on goals by category and the
relationship of those candidate goals to current activities and services. The intention of the
discussion is to develop desired long-term outcomes and capture tangible steps that can be taken
by the City in the next two years to get closer to that long-term outcome. The Council may choose
to discuss alignment on the goals for the next two years or use a prioritization activity to focus the
priorities for the 21-23 Financial Plan. Similar to previous Council Goal-Setting Workshops, the
prioritization activity would use a ranking system of 0 through 5 for each goal, summarized as
follows:
5 - most important, highest priorities for City to achieve over the next two years.
4 - very important goal to achieve.
3 - important goal to achieve.
2 - address if resources are available.
1 - defer to 2023-25 for consideration.
0 - not a priority goal.
