CM COUNCIL STRATEGIC POLICY GOALS WORK PLAN CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive a status report on the FY 2016-17 City Council Strategic Policy Goals Work Plan. Provide feedback and direction to staff, as needed. ITEM EXPLANATION: 1 0P? ~~ Each year, prior to development of the following fiscal year's budget, the City Council meets to discuss key strategic goals and priorities. At a goal setting workshop held on January 26, 2016, the City Council identified six aspirational goals focused on a three to five year planning horizon. On February 16, 2016, the City Council adopted a resolution affirming the following 2016 City Council Strategic Policy 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. On April 19, 2016, Council adopted a resolution approving the FY 2016-17 City Council Strategic Policy Goals Work Plan. The Work Plan lays out the strategies by which city staff will pursue the Council Goals during the current fiscal year. Each goal has been assigned a Team Leader and resourced with the appropriate city staff support and expertise. Staff will continuously monitor our progress toward achieving the adopted goals, and will present a quarterly status report to Council on implementation of the approved strategies, tactics, budgets and timelines. Since this will be the first quarterly status report presented by staff, work on the Council Strategic Policy Goals will also be discussed in the context of providing core city services and operations.

Item #1 - AB #22,352 July 19, 2016 Page 2 of 17 (city of 40I 0 Carlsbad City Council Strategic Policy Goals FY 2016-17 Work Plan Status Report July 2016 00°' Exhibit 1 Item #1 - AB #22,352 July 19, 2016 Page 3 of 17 Community Vision a 0 Introduction Each year, the Carlsbad City Council meets to discuss goals and priorities. These goals are ambitious and center around long term, policy oriented direction that will help achieve the Carlsbad Community Vision. The goals are developed with the full understanding that the day to day core services of the city account for the vast majority of resources and energy. Having a limited number of future oriented goals lets staff know where to focus available resources, while maintaining a consistently high level of service to the community. Together, the steady pursuit of audacious goals and the commitment to providing excellent service are ultimately how the City of Carlsbad fulfills its mission: to enhance the lives of all who live, work and play in our city by setting the standard for providing top quality, efficient local government services Strategic Planning Process Although the strategic planning process is a continual loop of public input, goals, strategies, tactics and evaluation, having an annual plan accomplishes several important things: it provides a framework for operationalizing the City Council's policy direction; it allows staff to recommend resource allocations for the annual city budget; and it helps ensure city staff and the City Council share a common vision of where the city is going and how it will get there. Council Policy Goals ."0•-• ---•••-- \ ••••••••.• 0.4., so.... Work Plan & Budget Item #1 - AB #22,352 July 19, 2016 Page 4 of 17 Community Vision These nine core values make up the Carlsbad Community Vision. They were developed in collaboration with the community and drive both the day to day work of the city and its long term planning. Small town feel, beach community character and connectedness — Enhance Carlsbad's defining attributes—its small town feel and beach community character. Build on the city's culture of civic engagement, volunteerism and philanthropy. Open space and the natural environment — Prioritize protection and enhancement of open space and the natural environment. Support and protect Carlsbad's unique open space and agricultural heritage. Access to recreation and active, healthy lifestyles — Promote active lifestyles and community health by furthering access to trails, parks, beaches and other recreation opportunities. The local economy, business diversity and tourism — Strengthen the city's strong and diverse economy and its position as an employment hub in north San Diego County. Promote business diversity, increased specialty retail and dining opportunities, and Carlsbad's tourism. Walking, biking, public transportation and connectivity — Increase travel options through enhanced walking, bicycling and public transportation systems. Enhance mobility through increased connectivity and intelligent transportation management. Sustainability — Build on the city's sustainability initiatives to emerge as a leader in green development and sustainability. Pursue public/private partnerships, particularly on sustainable water, energy, recycling and foods. History, the arts and cultural resources — Emphasize the arts by promoting a multitude of events and productions year-round and cutting-edge venues to host world class performances, and celebrate Carlsbad's cultural heritage in dedicated facilities and programs. High quality education and community services — Support quality, comprehensive education and lifelong learning opportunities, provide housing and community services for a changing population, and maintain a high standard for citywide public safety. Neighborhood revitalization, community design and livability— Revitalize neighborhoods and enhance citywide community design and livability. Promote a greater mix of uses citywide, more activities along the coastline and link density to public transportation. Revitalize the downtown Village as a community focal point and a unique and memorable center for visitors, and rejuvenate the historic Barrio neighborhood. Item #1 - AB #22,352 July 19, 2016 Page 5 of 17 Core City Services This report does not address performance of the city's day to day services. The delivery of those services is addressed in the annual resident survey results, the city's State of Effectiveness report and the city budget. Although these services remain fairly consistent from year to year, they are adjusted — adding services and even reducing services — based on community needs. Public Safety Police, fire, emergency preparedness, emergency medical, traffic safety, crime prevention Community Services Parks, recreation, trails, open space, libraries, cultural arts, classes, camps, special events, arts education Community & Economic Development Land use, development services, building inspection, code compliance, affordable housing, neighborhood services Public Works Streets and traffic, infrastructure, water, sewer, drainage, trash, environmental sustainability Governance Public records, community outreach and engagement, legal, management, clerk services Administrative Services Finance, human resources, information technology, purchasing, risk management, utility billing Item #1 - AB #22,352 July 19, 2016 Page 6 of 17 *Rim 4.1 •••4 MSINESZ•lii•IIMIN011{ 1:1,X4.0071•1111•••••• City Council Strategic Policy Goals Become a leader in multimodal transportation systems and creative approaches to moving people and goods through and within Carlsbad. The City Council expects Carlsbad to become a leader in the broad array of plans and systems that support more efficient and effective means of moving people and goods around and through Carlsbad and the region, including technology that improves traffic signal coordination and vehicle operation. Major regional projects, including the McClellan-Palomar Airport master plan update, double tracking of the railroad, widening of 1-5 and reconfiguration of the 1-5/78 interchange, require continued policy-level involvement to ensure Carlsbad's interests are reflected in project design and implementation. Plan for a new city hall that will meet the future workplace and operational needs of the city and the community. Plan for a new city hall that will be a point of pride for citizens while greatly improving efficiency and effectiveness by centralizing an employee base that is currently spread through many facilities. A strategic approach to locating city operational functions will provide better coordination among city functions and enhanced customer service. Promote education to increase civic engagement and attract and retain talent in Carlsbad. The City Council will take a stewardship role in encouraging the development of high quality educational experiences that foster economic development, civic engagement and community leadership. This broad goal includes partnering with local school districts, working to attract an institution of higher education, and cultivating a community with life and workplace skills that will support Carlsbad's vision for the future. Item #1 - AB #22,352 July 19, 2016 Page 7 of 17 Enhance Carlsbad's coastline to ensure an exceptional experience in all the ways people want to enjoy it. The Carlsbad coastline is a critical element of the city's identity. The City Council is committed to making policy decisions to ensure Carlsbad's coastline maintains the character the community loves while enhancing access, amenities and mobility to a level consistent with Carlsbad's high-quality community standards. This includes partnering with State Parks, which currently controls most of Carlsbad's beaches. This goal also includes physical changes that will enhance natural beauty, better manage traffic flow, expand walking and biking opportunities, improve safety and create a uniquely Carlsbad experience. Lower the railroad tracks in a trench through the Village to improve safety, community connectivity, quality of life and economic value. The busy rail line that runs through the core of the community divides Carlsbad. Railroad traffic, which will increase significantly in coming years, has adverse effects on the City of Carlsbad, especially in the area between the Agua Hedionda and Buena Vista lagoons. With the planned addition of a second, parallel track through the Village and Barrio, the city has an opportunity to lower the tracks below street level, similar to what has been done in other coastal communities. Achieving this goal would improve safety and increase coastal access. Without this change, the future quality of life and business climate in the Village would be irreparably harmed, the Barrio would remain cut off from the coast, and public safety would be severely compromised. Enhance the health and vitality of the Village and Barrio, two neighborhoods that represent the historic heart of Carlsbad. The city has made significant investments in the revitalization of the Village and Barrio, starting with "Redevelopment" and continuing with public-private partnerships and city funded infrastructure improvements. A new Village and Barrio Master Plan is nearing completion, and achieving the vision developed with the community through the master planning process will require continued policy focus and investment.
