Analysis:
From April to June 2023, the City Council and Executive Leadership Team engaged in a comprehensive process to build the FY 2023-2027 Strategic Plan (“Plan”). This process included one-on-one interviews with Council Members and Charter Officers, as well as workshops with City Council and Departments Heads to set the key priorities and projects for the next four fiscal years. This work culminated with City Council’s adoption of the Plan on October 3, 2023 via Resolution 2023-46.
In this Plan, City Council established eight overarching goals achieved through 23 major strategies and 99 tasks. Staff also established over 70 key performance indicators (KPIs) in recent months to measure their impacts over time.
Using all of the metrics above, staff has determined that the Plan is on track and achieving its goals in a timely manner. The Plan is 32% complete as of January 2024. An additional 47% is in progress, 19% is upcoming, and 2% is on hold. Detailed information is in the updated Implementation Action Plan (Attachment 1). A high-level summary is available in the presentation (Attachment 2). Following tonight’s meeting, all approved documents will be posted on the City’s website at www.huntingtonbeachca.gov/strategicplan <http://www.huntingtonbeachca.gov/strategicplan>.
