Statement:
This is a revised draft of the 2005-2006 priorities for Council Goals.
0
Background:
On January 14 and 15, 2005, the mayor, council and staff met to develop goals for the next fiscal year (2005-2006). The council reviewed the existing 2004-2005 goal priorities and developed and considered new goals for the next eighteen months. At the conclusion of the session the staff was directed to prepare a draft of the goals for consideration by the council. Using the information derived from the council goal setting, a draft of the goals was presented to council at the March 2 study session. A revised draft incorporates the modifications suggested by council at the study session. Once council goals have been adopted, a Summary of Council Goals listing the department responsible for the goal, with a schedule for accomplishing the goal, will be provided by April 19, 2005.

Related City Policies:
There is no established policy in the Ashland Municipal Code which states that council must hold a yearly goal setting process. However, Section 2.04.095, Identification of Fiscal Impact of Policy Decisions states:

A. At such time as the council adopts a new program or policy with significant revenue implications, it shall offer clear direction to city staff and to the budget committee as to how the new program or policy is to be funded.

B. When the city council adopts such a program or policy, it shall indicate how it expects that program or policy will be funded; e.g., which existing taxes or fees the council expects to increase and by how much, or which current city programs or department expenditures the council expects to reduce to fund the new program or policy. However, if the council cannot reasonably identify a potential funding source, it shall so indicate. . .

In 1998, the City Council adopted a goal to begin a strategic planning process for the City. In recent years the council has conducted an annual goal setting process that identifies more short-term goals for the City, which are subsequently tied to the budgeting process.

Council typically holds a goal setting early in the year to provide the budget committee with goals for the upcoming fiscal year. The goal setting process has been a valuable tool for the City as it has created measurable, definable and implementable goals that have driven the finances and organization in a clearly defined way.
