BACKGROUND <br /> The Council Work Plan is designed to inform the community of the City Council's <br /> "shared vision" of high priority projects and to provide the City Manager with the policy <br /> direction needed to manage City resources. It is anticipated the Council will update the <br /> Work Plan annually to reflect new priorities or projects and to ensure that it remains <br /> consistent with City Council goals, objectives and ongoing communication with the <br /> community. <br /> On March 10, 2015, the City Council conducted a public workshop to review the existing <br /> Work Plan and consider new priorities for the next two years commencing March 2015. <br /> The process was similar to previous priority setting workshops in that the City Council <br /> had an opportunity to review both existing and potential new projects as rated by <br /> Councilmembers, to receive public input, and to prioritize and/or reprioritize projects in a <br /> way that meets the City Council's expectations. <br /> The Work Plan does not rank projects in various degrees of priority (e.g., highest <br /> priority, high priority, etc). Rather, all projects in the work plan are included equally as <br /> part of the City's work effort. However, to help define the Council's prioritized work plan, <br /> the projects have been placed in broad goals/categories as follows: <br /> • Bernal Property— Develop Bernal Community Park <br /> • General Plan — Implement the City's General Plan and pursue long-term advanced <br /> planning activities <br /> • City Finances — Maintain the City's fiscal sustainability <br /> • Affordable Housing —Address affordable housing needs <br /> • Traffic Circulation — Implement improved traffic circulation measures <br /> • Economic Development— Foster economic prosperity <br /> • Youth Programs — Strengthen youth programs, services and activities <br /> • Public Safety— Ensure a safe and secure community <br /> • Quality of Life — Protect and enhanced Pleasanton's quality of life, including <br /> downtown <br /> • Environmental Awareness — Pursue environmental awareness, health, land use <br /> and preservation issues. <br /> • City Services — Operate an effective and cost-efficient government. <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
