COUNCIL POLICY STATEMENT
Zenera Subject: ADMINISTRATION
,pecific Subject: City Council Policy Development Process.
'opies to: City Council, City Manager, City Attorney, Department and Division Heads, Employee Bulletin Boards, Press, File _
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Policy Statement is to provide an outline of the City Council.policy development process: to establish a procedure for periodic review and evaluation of progress toward implementing City goals and objectives; and to establish a date for the annual review and updating of goals and objectives.~
BACKGROUND:
The City Council has established a policy development process to enhance the Council's ability to clearly determine and define goals and objectives to guide the allocation of City resources to meet the needs of the ,community. This process is designed to provide for an orderly process of policy development that will provide an opportunity for meaningful public impact. The goals and objectives established through this process will provide guidance for the City staff when developing budgets and action programs. Through this process, the City Council will be better able to carry out its policy making responsibility and the City staff will better be able to respond to the policy direction of the Council.
Although the City ,General Plan establishes policy guidance and direction in land use and related matters and certain master plans provide guidance in other areas, this policy development process is designed to address a wider scope of policy issues on a short term basis (5 years) to provide clear direction in allocating City resources.
The process is intended to be informal in nature in order to maximize the potential for community input. The process must, however, be adequately structured to help insure that a useful and timely product will be produced.
