CITY OF SAN LEANDRO STAFF REPORT DATE: April 7, 1996 TO: John Jermanis, City Manager BY: Artie A. Fields, Assistant to the City Manager VIA: Wandzia Grycz, Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: Vision Document - Theme Statements SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION APPROVED AND FORWARDED TO CITY COUNCIL Jo J rmanis ger On April 7, 1997, the City Council has on its agenda a discussion of the City Council Vision Statements for the City of San Leandro. City staff recommends approval of the document as presented. BACKGROUND The City Council met at a work session in December 1996 to identify and discuss goals and objectives for the City's future. The discussion was a collaborative process that allowed input from City staff and the public. The meeting was very productive and presented an opportunity for the City Council to develop a "wish list" of items that were deemed essential to provide a quality environment for residents and businesses alike. At the conclusion of that meeting the City Council had laid the foundation for the development of what would later be referred to as the City's "Vision Statements." A follow-up meeting was scheduled in January 1997 to further discuss and refine the Vision Statements. This meeting was also very productive and provided a forum for the City Council to review the new City Manager recruitment process. The Vision Statements were incorporated into the discussion and assisted the City Council in identifying the characteristics that the successful candidate should posses. DISCUSSION Staff recommends that the Vision Statements be utilized to form the basic work plan for the development of the Fiscal Year 1997-98 budget. If approved, the Vision Statements would be included in the budget document and highlighted by each department. - 163
