I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD JUST LET IT GO BECAUSE 201 FAILING OUT OF 500 DOES NOT , TO ME CONSTITUTE A FAILED BECAUSE 299 PASSED OUT OF THE 500 THAT THEY USED SO I DON'T THINK 5000 PEOPLE SHOULD BE EXCLUDED FROM 500 AND THEN ALSO, I WANT TO ENCOURAGE THE CITY OF PITTSBURG TO DO A RESOLUTION FOR THE SAVING OF THE PITTSBURG ANTIOCH TRAIN STATION. WE DON'T WANT TO JUST LOSE THAT STATION. JUST BECAUSE OP IS GETTING ONE AND ALSO, JUST SO YOU KNOW, EVICTIONS HAVE NOT STOPPED. PEOPLE'S RENTS ARE STILL BEING RAISED 200, $300.

WE HAD DISCUSSION AROUND SOME CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS FOR THE PITTSBURG POLICE DEPARTMENT SPECIFICALLY REGARDING REDACTIONS SERVICES WITH THE INCREASE OF PUBLIC RECORDS REQUESTS, SPECIFICALLY WHEN IT COMES TO VIDEO FOOTAGE FOR BODY WORN CAMERAS AND THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES TO PROCESS THOSE TYPES OF REQUESTS. THE REDACTION THAT IS NEEDED FOR THE PERSONAL INFORMATION AND THINGS BY LAW THAT HAVE TO BE REDACTED, SO WE REVIEWED A REQUEST THAT CAME IN FROM THEIR RFP FOR REDACTION SERVICES THAT SHALL BE MOVING FORWARD TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE LOAD OF REQUEST AND SERVICES THAT ARE NEEDED. WE ALSO RECEIVED AN UPDATE REGARDING RELEASE FOR VIDEO SAFETY CAMERAS THAT WILL BE IN ADDITION TO THE NETWORK WE HAVE HERE IN THE CITY, AND THIS IS REALLY TO LOOK AT IT FROM A COST SAVINGS PERSPECTIVE OF OWNING THE HARDWARE, PURCHASING THE HARDWARE, BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING AND UPGRADING THE PHYSICAL ASSETS TO BE ABLE TO LEASE THE TECHNOLOGY , WITH SIGNIFICANT COST SAVINGS AND BEING ABLE TO REALLY ENHANCE SPECIFICALLY WHAT WE ARE SEEING AROUND SOME OF OUR COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS , SOME OF THE FEEDBACK THAT WE'VE BEEN GETTING FROM THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE SAINT MARCUS AREA, SO RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN ENGAGED. THIS IS SOMETHING ALSO GOING ON OVERALL WITH OUR CAMERA SAFETY NETWORK THROUGHOUT THE CITY, SO THAT IS ALSO AN ITEM THAT IS LOOKING TO COME FORWARD FOR APPROVAL, AS WELL, AND THEN ALSO, SOME VIDEOCAMERA UPGRADES AS IT RELATES TO AROUND CITY HALL JUST FOR SAFETY MEASURES. WE ARE DEALING WITH A LOT OF OLD, ANTIQUATED TECHNOLOGY FROM ONE CITY HALL WAS FIRST BUILT , AND SO THERE IS A NEED TO UPGRADE IN TERMS OF NOT ONLY THE WIRING BUT ALSO THE TECHNOLOGY USED FOR VIDEO SECURITY AROUND CITY HALL, SO THAT WAS ALSO IN THE DISCUSSION AROUND PUBLIC SAFETY AROUND OUR SECURITY NETWORK AND THEN AS WELL, THE DEPARTMENT TRAINING PRESENTATION AND PD ALSO MADE AVAILABLE FOR ANYONE THAT WANTS TO VIEW THEIR TRAINING SIMULATOR, WHICH IS REALLY SOMETHING THAT IS STATE-OF-THE-ART, REALLY A MODEL EVEN FOR AGENCIES AROUND THE REGION FOR TYPE OF TRAINING THAT OUR OFFICERS GO THROUGH HERE IN THE CITY OF PITTSBURG TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE SITUATIONS WHEN IT COMES TO DE-ESCALATION BUT REALLY JUST GETTING AS MUCH PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE WHEN IT COMES TO SITUATIONS THAT THEY MAY BE FACED WITH IN THE FIELD AND BEING ABLE TO HANDLE STRESS LEVELS AND BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS THAT OFFICERS MAY BE FACED WITH AND SO THEY MADE THAT AVAILABLE. WE WERE NOT ABLE TO DO IT THAT EVENING BUT I BELIEVE IT IS GOING TO BE SCHEDULED FOR COUNSEL, COMMISSION MEMBERS BUT I KNOW THEY ALSO DO SOME OF THIS WHEN IT COMES TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THEY GO THROUGH THE ACADEMY BUT IT IS REALLY AN EXPERIENCE TO SEE WHAT OUR OFFICERS NOT ONLY ARE FACED WITH, BUT THE TRAINING THEY DO TO PREPARE THEMSELVES AND FOR US TO GET THAT TYPE OF EXPERIENCE, AS WELL, AS CIVILIANS SO WHEN AN OPPORTUNITY COMES UP AGAIN I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO ALL OF US WERE ABLE TO, TO BE ABLE TO JOIN IN THAT EXPERIENCE. WITH THAT, THAT WILL CONCLUDE MY SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT. >> THANK YOU. WE WILL MOVE ON TO HOUSING AUTHORITY. WE WILL NOW MEET AS THE HOUSING AUTHORITY BOARD. MR. CITY MANAGER, ITEM NUMBER ONE, PLEASE. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. TONIGHT'S CONSIDERATION ITEM IS APPROVING THE OPERATING BUDGET PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-25 FOR THE HOUSING AUTHORITY AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR SAID FISCAL YEAR. HAVE A BRIEF PRESENTATION. AS AN OVERVIEW, THE HOUSING AUTHORITY PROVIDES RENTAL SUBSIDIES TO LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS. IT IS FUNDED BY THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT. RENTAL ASSISTANCE IS IN THE FORM OF HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHERS. FAMILIES CAN USE THE HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHERS TO RENT UNITS OF THEIR CHOOSING . FOR FISCAL YEAR 24-25 THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF PITTSBURG WILL SERVE APPROXIMATELY 1140 HOUSEHOLDS AND 185 PREVIOUSLY HOMELESS VETERANS. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BUDGET FOR THE HOUSING AUTHORITY, IT IS PRETTY WELL --THERE IS NOT VERY MUCH DISCRETION YOU CAN DO, BEING IT REALLY IS A RENTAL PROGRAM, SO THE REVENUES ARE $24.8 MILLION . IN THIS CASE RIGHT NOW, WE ARE SHOWING EXPENDITURES OF 25 MILLION, SO THAT WOULD BE A NET LOSS OF 198,000 FOR THE FUND BALANCE, LEAVING A FUND BALANCE OF 244,000 . THE HOUSING AUTHORITY IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY ORDINANCE BECAUSE IT IS GOVERNED BY HUD , SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR WE ARE IN, 23-24, ABOUT A YEAR AGO, THE HOUSING AUTHORITY ADOPTED A BUDGET WHICH SHOWED ABOUT $48,000 OVERALL LOSS IN ASSETS. DURING THE MIDYEAR, DUE TO SOME INCREASED REVENUE PAYMENTS AS WELL AS SOME REDUCTION IN EXPENDITURES, WE ARE PROJECTING AN ACTUAL POSITIVE NET ASSET GAIN FOR THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF 230,000. LOOKING AT NEXT YEAR , WHAT THE PREVIOUS SLIDE JUST SHOWED US THAT -198 WILL BE MODERATELY EXPECTED TO IMPROVE. WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO KEEP VERY MANY RESERVES BECAUSE OF HUD SO IT'S ONLY 1%. YOU WILL SEE HIGHER PERCENTAGES AS WE GO ON THIS EVENING. LOOKING AT THE MULTI REVENUE AND EXPENDITURES, YOU CAN SEE IT HAS PICKED UP QUITE A BIT BECAUSE RENTS AND THE LIKE ARE COSTING MORE AND YOU CAN ALSO SEE THAT REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES PRETTY MUCH MATCH YEAR TO YEAR AND REALLY, WE DO HAVE TONYA NOW AND BEFORE THEN, BRUCE, KEEPING A GOOD EYE ON THE SHOP. NEXT STEPS, CERTAINLY ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE BUT OTHERWISE, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEARS 24-25. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU. DOES THE HOUSING AUTHORITY BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? >> NOT PRESENT. >> THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM? >> NO, WE DO NOT. >> OKAY, I WILL BRING IT BACK TO THE HOUSING AUTHORITY BOARD. WHAT IS THE PLEASURE OF THE BOARD? >> I MOVED TO ACCEPT THE REPORT AS IS. >> OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. MOTION PASSES 5-0. WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE COMBINED CITY COUNCIL AND HOUSING AUTHORITY CONSENT CALENDAR. DO ANY MEMBERS OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY BOARD HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST ON ANY ITEMS ON THE CONSENT CALENDAR? >> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A STATEMENT. I KNOW WE ARE HOPEFULLY PROGRESSING [ INAUDIBLE ] WE PURCHASED SOME HOUSING FOR THE HOUSING AUTHORITY BENEFIT TO HOUSE ALL PEOPLE, SO I AM HOPEFUL THAT WE WILL CONTINUE IN THIS DIRECTION TO ASSIST GREATER HERE IN OUR COMMUNITY. >> THANK YOU. >> YOU'RE WELCOME. >> SO, ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON CONSENT CALENDAR ITEMS MADAM CLERK? >> THERE ARE NONE. >> IS THERE A MOTION ON THE CONSENT CALENDAR? >> I WILL MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE ACCEPT THE CALENDAR AS IS. >> I SECOND THE MOTION. >> THERE IS A MOTION ON A SECOND. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. MOTION PASSES 5-0. WE WILL MOVE ON TO HOUSING AUTHORITY MEMBER REPORTS OR REMARKS. DO ANY MEMBERS HAVE ANY REPORTS OR REMARKS THEY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE? >> NOT PRESENT, MR.

CITY MANAGER, ITEM NUMBER FIVE, PLEASE. >> THANK YOU. MR. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, TONIGHT'S FOR CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM IS A MINUTE ORDER TO APPROVE CITY GOALS AND PRIORITIES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-25. JENNIFER BRAZIL, HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR, IS HERE WITH A PRESENTATION. >> MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, I'M PLEASED TO SHARE THE DRAFT CITY GOALS AND PRIORITIES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-25. FIRST, I WILL PROVIDE A TIMELINE OF HOW WE GOT HERE THIS EVENING. ON A CONTINUAL BASIS THE CITY COUNCIL PROVIDES STRATEGIC DIRECTION TO STAFF THROUGH THE ADOPTION THE CITYWIDE GOALS. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS THE GOVERNMENT PERFORMANCE AD HOC SUBCOMMITTEE WORKED TO DEVELOP PROCESSES AND SYSTEMS TO MEASURE AND COMMUNICATE OUTCOMES OF CITY GOALS, PROGRAMS, PROJECTS AND SERVICES. IN SEPTEMBER 2023, THE SUBCOMMITTEE LED THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A PUBLIC DASHBOARD ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE TO REPORT THE STATUS OF THE CITIES APPROVED FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 GOALS AND EFFORT TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY AND ACCESSIBILITY OF INFORMATION TO THE COMMUNITY. JANUARY 19th AND 20th OF THIS YEAR, CITY COUNCIL HELD PUBLIC WORKSHOPS DESIGNED TO REVIEW AND REFINE CITY COUNCIL PRIORITY AREAS AND ALIGN GOALS FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR. PRELIMINARY GOALS WERE ESTABLISHED AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES WERE DEVELOPED BY STAFF THEN PRESENTED TO EACH SUBCOMMITTEE THROUGHOUT THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY FOR FEEDBACK. ON MARCH 18th, 2024, STAFF PRESENTED THE FISCAL YEAR 2024-25 GOALS TO CITY COUNCIL FOR ADOPTION. ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION LEAD COUNSEL TO DIRECT THE GOVERNMENT PERFORMANCE AD HOC SUBCOMMITTEE TO IDENTIFY STRATEGIES TO MEASURE PERFORMANCE SUCCESS YEAR OVER YEAR. THE GOVERNMENT PERFORMANCE AD HOC SUBCOMMITTEE MET ON MARCH 22nd, APRIL 12th AND MAY 28th TO FURTHER ESTABLISH GOALS THAT COULD BE MEASURED OVER TIME THROUGH ADOPTED ANNUAL OBJECTIVES AS WELL AS SERVE AS A FOUNDATIONAL REFERENCE WHEN ITEMS ARE BROUGHT TO COUNSEL FOR ADOPTION TO ENSURE COUNSEL DECISION-MAKING ALLIANCE WITH THE LONG-TERM VISION. THE GOVERNMENT PERFORMANCE AD HOC SUBCOMMITTEE REVIEWED 18 OF THE CITY'S EXISTING MASTER PLANS AND PROGRAM DOCUMENTS TO DEVELOP OVERARCHING GOALS THAT SUPPORT THE ALIGNMENT OF THE CITY'S LONG-TERM VISION. THE SUBCOMMITTEE WORKED TO ENSURE THAT GOALS WERE REFLECTIVE OF THE COLLECTIVE PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE ADOPTION OF THESE MASTER PLANS. THE SUBCOMMITTEE ESTABLISH DEFINITIONS TO CONNECT THE CITIES PLANS AND PRIORITIES TO DATA THAT CAN BE MEASURED YEAR OVER YEAR IN ORDER TO GAUGE PROGRESS AND APPROPRIATELY DIRECT RESOURCES. SO, THIS SLIDE IDENTIFIES SPECIFIC GOALS OR TARGETS THE CITY STRIVES TO ACHIEVE FOR EACH PRIORITY AREA AS DEVELOPED BY THE GOVERNMENT PERFORMANCE AD HOC SUBCOMMITTEE AND I WILL GO INTO FURTHER DETAIL ON THE DEFINITION OF THESE PRIORITY AREAS AND SPECIFIC GOALS. WHILE THE PRIORITY AREAS ARE EQUAL IN VALUE, THE SUBCOMMITTEE RECOMMENDED CATEGORIZING THOSE PRIORITIES INTO AREAS FOR CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT OR SUSTAINED PROGRESS. THE AREAS FOR CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT ARE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, INFRASTRUCTURE AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT. THE FOLLOWING SLIDES IDENTIFY EACH CITY COUNCIL PRIORITY AREA GOALS AND PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES BY DEPARTMENT. EACH DEPARTMENT OBJECTIVE ADDITIONALLY OUTLINES IMPLEMENTATION MEASURES THAT CAN BE FOUND IN THE CITIGO HANDOUT WHICH YOU SHOULD HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU AND THIS IS ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA TO TRACK PERFORMANCE SUCCESS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND MEASURE GOAL ACHIEVEMENT FROM YEAR TO YEAR SO THE FIRST SLIDE YOU SEE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND THE DEFINITION FOR THE PRIORITY AREA OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IS TO CONTINUE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THROUGH STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS, PROMOTION OF ENTRY-LEVEL AND HIGH-END HOUSING AND RETENTION AND GROWTH OF NEW AND EXISTING BUSINESS. THE SPECIFIC GOAL THAT WAS IDENTIFIED IS TO IMPROVE THE CITY'S JOB HOUSING BALANCE AND INCREASE THE CITY'S TAX BASE THROUGH THE RETENTION AND GROWTH OF EXISTING AND NEW BUSINESSES AS WELL AS INCREASED GENERAL FUND REVENUE BY 15% BY THE YEAR 2030 AND ACHIEVE A JOB HOUSING BALANCE OF .8. AND SO ESSENTIALLY, THAT MEANS THE JOB HOUSING BALANCE OF .8 IS JOBS PER HOUSEHOLD, OUR CURRENT CENSUS IDENTIFIED THE CITY AT 24,000 HOUSING UNITS , AND 13,000 JOBS, SO THAT IS ROUGHLY ABOUT .5, SO OUR GOAL IS TO MOVE TOWARD .8 AND SOME OF THE DECISIONS WE ARE MAKING IN THE CITY. THE COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT HAS IDENTIFIED OBJECTIVES TO MEET THESE GOALS AND UNDER THIS PRIORITY AREA, AND THAT IS TO CREATE A FRAMEWORK FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF CENTURY PLAZA, TO ASSIST EXISTING BUSINESSES, AND GROWING AND MAINTAINING MINIMUM 95% RETENTION OF CURRENT AND TOWN BUSINESSES IN THE NEXT BUSINESSLIKE -- LICENSE RENEWAL CYCLE AND UPDATE THE ZONING CODE TO ENSURE SUFFICIENT ENTITLEMENT PROCESS FOR BUSINESSES AND INDUSTRY AREAS. UNDER THE SAME PRIORITY AREA AND GOAL , THE PITTSBURG POWER COMPANY, ALLEN ENERGY, HAS DEVELOPED THE OBJECTIVE TO DEVELOP ENERGY SUPPLY STRATEGY FOR THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT AND COMMUNITY SERVICES UNDER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. WE HAVE IDENTIFIED A PLAN TO ENROLL PARTICIPANTS IN A PILOT PROGRAM, PRESERVATION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING STOCK THROUGH THE HOUSING REHABILITATION LOAN PROGRAM AND CONTINUE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF BLISS AVENUE. THE NEXT PRIORITY AREA IS PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE. THE DEFINITION FOR THAT IS IMPROVING PUBLIC FACILITIES , INFRASTRUCTURE, AND INCREASING BEAUTIFICATION OF CITY-MAINTAINED AREAS. THE GOALS OF THIS AREA ARE TO INCREASE PCI BY 2029 TO INCREASE THE TARGETS OF 75% ANNUALLY AND THOSE ARE TO PERFORM MAINTENANCE OF MEDIANS AND RIGHT OF WAYS AT LEAST THREE TIMES PER YEAR, MO AND EDGE CITY PARKS ONCE PER WEEK AND CLEAN RESTROOMS AND COLLECT TRASH FIVE TIMES PER WEEK AND THOSE IDENTIFIED IN THE LANDSCAPE MASTER PLAN. TO CLARIFY THE PAVEMENT CONDITION INDEX, I KNOW THAT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING DISCUSSION IN THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT HAS IDENTIFIED SOME WAYS TO ADDRESS THIS AT SOME OF THOSE THINGS MIGHT BE MAINTENANCE AND REHABILITATION STRATEGIES, POTHOLE PATCH REPAIR PROGRAMS AND CRACK SEALING. THEY HAVE ALSO IDENTIFIED IMPROVING KEY ENTRYWAYS INTO THE CITY AS A KEY OBJECTIVE OF THESE GOALS, EVALUATING EXISTING AND NEW FUNDING SOURCES TO SUPPORT INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, ADDRESS TRAFFIC CIRCULATION ISSUES OF THE INTERSECTION OF SAN MARK AND -- MARCO BOULEVARD AND WESTMORELAND ROAD AND ADDRESS TRAFFIC CIRCULATION ISSUES ALONG RAILROAD AVENUE CORRIDOR AND ENGAGE IN ETIQUETTE WITH CALTRANS TO IMPROVE CIRCULATION. ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES ALSO HAS OBJECTIVES IN THIS AREA AND THAT IS TO PROMOTE PUBLIC TRANSIT INCENTIVE PROGRAMS AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY AND ENHANCE CLEANUP DAY PROGRAM TO MITIGATE ILLEGAL DUMPING. WE ALSO HAVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT THAT IS BEEN DEFINED AS IMPROVE THE EDUCATION, HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF OUR YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS BY IMPROVING THEIR SERVICE AND ECONOMIC OUTCOMES. THE GOAL IS TO ENHANCE CAREER AND COLLEGE READINESS TO DAILY AFTERSCHOOL YOUTH PROGRAMMING THROUGH THE CITY IN COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND INCREASE PROGRAM ATTENDANCE BY 15%. THE RECREATION DEPARTMENT HAS IDENTIFIED TO WORK WITH EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS TO PROVIDE CAREER PATHWAYS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS AS IDENTIFIED IN THE YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULT SERVICES MASTER PLAN OBJECTIVE TWO. NEXT, WE HAVE PRIORITY AREAS FOR SUSTAINED PROGRESS AND THAT FALLS UNDER PUBLIC SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY. THE DEFINITION OF PUBLIC SAFETY IS TO PRIORITIZE PUBLIC SAFETY, HEALTH AND WELFARE IN THE CITY BUDGET WHEN REVIEWING PROJECTS IN THE GOAL IS TO REDUCE VIOLENT CRIME TO NO MORE THAN THREE PER CAPITA, AND PROPERTY CRIME TO NO MORE THAN 20 PER CAPITA. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS DEVELOPED OBJECTIVES TO IMPLEMENT VIOLENT CRIME REDUCTION STRATEGIES AND FORECAST AND MODEL POLICE RESOURCES TO MATCH GROWTH OF THE COMMUNITY . MORE SPECIFICALLY AROUND THE GOAL CURRENTLY FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2023, WE ARE AT 6.5 PER CAPITA FOR VIOLENT CRIME , WHICH IS ABOUT 487, BASED ON OUR CURRENT POPULATION OF 74,809 , AND REDUCING THAT TO 3.0 PER CAPITA WOULD BE A REDUCTION OF 224. THE PROPERTY CRIME TO NO MORE THAN 20, WHICH CURRENTLY IS AT 21.6, WHICH IS EQUIVALENT TO 1617 WOULD BE A REDUCTION TO 1488. THE NEXT PRIORITY AREA IS EFFICIENCY , AND THAT IS DEFINED INCREASING EFFICIENCY OF CITY OPERATIONS AND SERVICES THROUGH TECHNOLOGY AND STREAMLINE PROCESSES. THE GOAL IS TO MAINTAIN CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SCORES OF 90% ACROSS ALL DEPARTMENTS AND PROGRAMS AND SERVICES AND IMPROVE CITY OPERATIONS THROUGH TECHNOLOGY AND STREAMLINE PROCESSES. WE HAVE THREE DEPARTMENTS THAT HAVE IDENTIFIED OBJECTIVES. THE CITY CLERK SERVICES DEPARTMENT IDENTIFIED TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE ELECTION CODES REGARDING CITY ACTIONS AS TRIGGERED BY SPECIFIC TIMELINES FOR POTENTIAL BALLOT MEASURE, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, PLANS TO IMPROVE THE USER EXPERIENCE WITH THE CITY WEBSITE, AND HUMAN RESOURCES PLANS TO WORK WITH THE CITY DEPARTMENTS TO ESTABLISH SERVICE LEVEL STANDARDS. DURING THE STRATEGIC PLANNING WORKSHOP HELD ON JANUARY 20th, COUNSEL IDENTIFIED ADDITIONAL INITIATIVES WITH A FOCUS ON IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL PITTSBURG RESIDENTS IN THE RECREATION DEPARTMENT HAS LED IDENTIFIED OBJECTIVES IN THAT AREA AND ONE IS TO EVALUATE AND PRIORITIZE EVENTS AND EXPERIENCE-BASED ENTERTAINMENT AND TO PROMOTE PITTSBURG CARES, WITH EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. THE CITY IMPLEMENTED THE DASHBOARD TO FOLLOW PROGRESS ON THE GOALS AND IMPLEMENTATION MEASURES ADOPTED BY CITY COUNCIL. PROGRESS ON THE GOALS AND IMPLEMENTATION CAN BE VIEWED THROUGH THE CITY'S WEBSITE. THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYS THE PROGRESS OF GOALS ADOPTED FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2023-24. CURRENTLY, THE CITY HAS ACHIEVED 43% OF THE STATED GOALS AND HAS IDENTIFIED ANOTHER 48% THAT ARE IDENTIFIED AS ON TRACK TO SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION. THAT MEANS 91% OF THE GOALS WE HAVE IDENTIFIED FOR 2023-24 ARE UP-TO-DATE. 3% WERE CANCELED, AND SIX ARE LATE OR PENDING. NOT BAD FOR OUR FIRST YEAR OF HAVING A DASHBOARD. SHOULD THE 2024-25 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES BE ADOPTED, STAFF WILL CREATE A DASHBOARD FOR THIS YEAR'S PRIORITIES, GOALS, AND OBJECTIVES. BY MINUTE ORDER, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2024- 2025 CITY COUNCIL GOALS. >> THANK YOU, JENNIFER. DO ANY OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE QUESTIONS FOR STAFF?

I WILL USE THE TERM ADVISEDLY WHICH IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE MAIA THEATER. CLASS FOUR BICYCLE FACILITY IS BASICALLY A SIDEWALK. THERE IS NO SIDEWALK CURRENTLY ON THAT SIDE OF THE STREET , AND IN FACT, THERE ARE ONLY 412-FOOT TRAFFIC LANES, SO IT IS FAIRLY DANGEROUS FOR THE BICYCLE TO WANT TO GET BETWEEN THE COLLEGE DOWN TO THE SHOPPING CENTER. SECOND, ON RAILROAD AVENUE , PLEASE, WHEREVER POSSIBLE, INSTALL A MARKED SHOULDER OR A MARKED BICYCLE LANE WHEREVER POSSIBLE SOUTH OF THE FREEWAY LEADING DOWN TO KIRK PASS ROAD.
