This meeting on Tuesday, December 10, 2024 , will be devoted to a comprehensive review of the status of current City plans, goals, policies, and programs. This is an especially appropriate start as the Council goal-setting process should take into consideration the City’s adopted long-term plans, current two-year goals, and an updated economic outlook. Accordingly, staff plans to present reports on the following:

a. FY 2024-25 1st Quarter Review. Staff will present a brief budget update of the City's current financial position as compared with the adopted FY 2024-25 Supplemental Budget.

b. Strategic Scan/Setting the Stage. Staff will provide an overview of important statistical information that provides trends and patterns pertaining to social, economic, and environmental factors. This will help set the stage for an overview of the City's services and how the budget is allocated. This will provide important context for decision making through the 2025-27 financial planning process.

c. Status of Major City Goals. Staff will provide an update on the status of existing Major City Goals.

d. Status of General Plan Programs. As in past years, staff will present an overview of the status of each General Plan program in each of the ten elements (over 400 programs in total). Organized by element, staff will provide a short summary of each program, whether it has been completed, and if not, a high-level assessment of how challenging it will be to complete.
