Rskspvlffi� REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Department Approval Item Description: City of Roseville Strategic Plan BACKGROUND Date: May 19, 2008 Item No.: 13.b City Manager Approval One of my goals for our organization is to develop and implement an integrated performance management program which will establish a systematic budget process that is more than the preparation of a legal document that appropriates funds for a series of line items. Such a program will incorporate several components, which will, on an annual or regular basis, provide for more thoughtful, planned and deliberate preparation of plans, goals and outcomes that will help direct the Council's appropriation of scarce public resources. The budget process consists of activities that encompass the development, implementation, and evaluation of a plan for the provision of services and capital assets. The process has the following steps: 1. Receive Community Input and establish broad goals 2. Strategic Planning for shorter term goals 3. Capital Planning 4. Budgeting 5. Performance Assessment 0. Community Feedback This systematic perspective will provide a good budget process that incorporates a long -term perspective with linkages to broad organizational goals and focuses more on results and outcomes. Instead of addressing our budgeting one year at a time, we would be strategic in nature, encompassing a multi -year financial and operating plan that allocates resources on the basis of identified goals. The City Council has adopted the Imagine Roseville 2025 Final Report, which sets a vision and broad goals for the community. Translating those goals into a comprehensive plan that reflects the priorities of the community and provides decision making information to the City Council and staff on a continual basis is the outcome of this process.
