This project would review those fees relative to the current housing market and growing need for facilitating affordable units. Overview of citywide strategic plan project The citywide strategic plan will provide the City Council, community, and City staff an opportunity to create a longer-term planning horizon with a focus on longer-term goals and outcomes and direction about near-term projects and programs that will allow the City to advance in a thoughtful manner (including sufficient fiscal analysis and consideration of staff time needed to accomplish items). The result of the process will be a citywide strategic plan with multi-year goals, strategies to achieve the goals, and an implementation action plan. The strategic plan will include: • Vision, mission, values • Multi-year goals -high level themed areas of interest of focus • Development of a new Council Priority Setting Process tied to the Strategic plan goals: The Council Priority Process will identify specific actions. o Success indicators for each action o Reporting and accountability mechanisms.

Internal organizational interviews with the City Council and City staff are being held, and community outreach and engagement is being planned.
