goals represent priority issues to address during the two -year time period, and are in addition to the
Town's ongoing core services which account for approximately 80% of staff resources.
On February 10, the Council held a special meeting to discuss and take action on the strategic goals for
2014 -2016.
DISCUSSION:
At the special meeting, the Council reviewed the status of the 2013 -2015 strategic goals (Attachment 1).

completed goals and the completed portions of two goals. These included the following:

The Council discussed 21 potential goals submitted by Council members and staff, as well as goals
arising from Council discussion and public comment. Attachment 2 provides a brief summary of
Council actions on all of the potential goals.
Council directed staff to add 11 goals to the Strategic Goal matrix. This represents a significant increase
in staff workload, and selected new goals will be initiated this year as prior goals are completed or
resources are available.
Attachment 3 is the new 2014 -2016 Strategic Goal matrix recommended for Council approval.
CONCLUSION:
The Council conducted its annual strategic goal- setting session, and took action to remove completed
goals from the 2013 -2015 Strategic Goal matrix and added new goals to establish its 2014 -2016
strategic goals. Staff recommends that Council formally adopt the 2014 -2016 strategic goals, which will
be incorporated in the Town's annual work plans and in the FY 2014 -2015 Operating Budget to guide
resource - allocation decisions.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
Is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of the 2014 -2016 Strategic Goals will have no direct fiscal impact.
