Aliso Viejo adopts short-term strategic goals with Baker Tilly plan
Loading...
Summary
Council adopted three priorities — financial stability, infrastructure investment, and a plan for Aliso Viejo Ranch — and directed staff to implement an action plan with quarterly status updates and a centralized grant-monitoring system.
The Aliso Viejo City Council voted to receive and file a goal-and-priority-setting workshop report prepared by consultant Baker Tilly and adopted three strategic goals to guide city work over the next one to two years: financial stability, infrastructure investment, and development of the Aliso Viejo Ranch as a community asset.
City staff described how the report was developed, including one-on-one interviews with each council member and meetings with executive staff, and presented prioritized strategies and an implementation action plan. Key near-term steps include developing a centralized grant-monitoring system, reviewing contracts at expiration to look for cost savings, preparing a master schedule for asset maintenance and replacement, and conducting a community survey for recreation programs. Staff will provide quarterly updates to the council on progress toward the goals.
Council members generally expressed support, asked clarifying questions about whether the master fee study would include ranch rental fees (staff said not at this time because rental fees were recently adopted), and requested that the results be posted on the city website. The motion to receive and file the report and adopt the strategic goals passed 5–0 by roll call.
