As noted in the staff report, this year's City Council goal setting workshop was held on March 20, 2018. The workshop was facilitated by Julie Dubick of H.G. Consulting Group. During the workshop, Council memorialized its intent to establish five 2018 City Council Goals through a series of specific motions and votes. However, at the close of the workshop, Ms. Dubick requested that Council allow staff a degree of latitude in finalizing the goal language to be presented in the forthcoming Council Resolution. As such, minor language modifications were made to each of the goals. However, in preparing the subject resolution, staff recognized that the railroad trenching goal, as agreed at the goal setting workshop, was the only one that didn't articulate a time-specific deliverable. As such, in an effort to gain consistency with the SMART goal construct followed by the other goals, a more substantive change was made to include a timing element to the proposed goal language. The project schedule included in the 2017 SAN DAG Carlsbad Village Double Track Railroad Trench Alternative Economic Analysis and Feasibility Study provided the basis for staff's recommended timeline (i.e., contract award/ ground breaking in 2023). However, in considering the subject resolution, Council will need to determine whether the proposed language is consistent with Council's intent, or not. The goal language passed by motion at the 2018 goal setting workshop, is presented on the following page in comparison to the language included in the subject resolution.
