ATTACHMENT A
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.

community character. Build on the city's culture of civic engagement,

partnerships, particularly on sustainable water, energy, recycling and
foods.

a multitude of events and productions year-round and cutting-edge venues
to host world class performances, and celebrate Carlsbad's cultural

and link density to public transportation. Revitalize the downtown Village
as a community focal point and a unique and memorable center for

budget. Although these services remain fairly consistent from year to year, they are adjusted-
adding services and even reducing services-based on community needs.

City Council 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.
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
stan dards. This includes partnering with State Parks, which
currently controls most of Carlsbad's beaches. This goa l 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 trad<s in a trench through the Village
to improve safety, community connertivity, qualtty of
life anrt eco-,omic 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.

Council's policy direction. They include specific strategies and tactics, timelines and budgets.
