Resolution Affirming the 2017 City Council Goals
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution of the City Council of the City of Carlsbad, California, affirming the 2017 City
Council Goals, and direct city staff to develop a proposed fiscal year 2017-18 City Council Goals
Work Plan.
Executive Summary
This report presents a resolution for City Council adoption, affirming the 2017 City Council
Goals, as agreed during the March 21, 2017 City Council meeting.
Discussion
Each year, prior to the development of the following fiscal year's budget, the City Council meets
to discuss key priorities. This year's goal setting workshops were held on February 21, March
18, and March 21, 2017. Council members, through a facilitated and segmented dialogue,
discussed long term, aspirational goals and chose to continue efforts toward the following six
goals:
• Become a leader in multi-modal transportation systems and creative approaches to
moving people and goods through and within Carlsbad.
• Plan for a new city hall that will meet the future workplace and operational needs of the
city and the community.
• Promote education to increase civic engagement and attract and retain talent in
Carlsbad.
• Enhance Carlsbad's coastline to ensure an exceptional experience in all the ways people
want to enjoy it.
• Lower the railroad tracks in a trench through the Village to improve safety, community
connectivity, quality of life and economic value.
• Enhance the health and vitality of the Village and Barrio, two neighborhoods that
represent the historic heart of Carlsbad.
Item #11 March 28, 2017 Page 1 of 4
Several other items were identified for follow-up action, but did not make it into the top six
goals. Staff will continue efforts related to these items and periodically update city council
regarding their status. These items include:
• Overall prioritization of city projects
• Growth Management Plan update
• Municipal Code update, including discussion of campaign finance reform
• Environmental sustainability, including discussion of Community Choice Energy and an
Environmental Commission
• Village & Barrio development moratorium
Next Steps
Upon receiving City Council direction, staff will prepare a detailed Council Goals Work Plan for
FY 2017-18, which will be brought to Council for adoption at the April 2017 workshop.
