City Council - Special Meeting

Okay, everyone has a good afternoon. We are here for a special CET Council meeting to discuss strategic planning. This brown part of the meeting is open to the public. In this meeting, only the things we discuss are allowed to be said to the public. No one is seen here. Is there anyone in Zoom? Teresa.

No, no one.

Okay, thank you. Okay, let's move on to the presentation. Thank you very much. I didn't know I had to do this. We don't need it. There's really no one there, right? That's why I don't have to tell you the details. He's not the one who caused this. Okay, good. There's no one at the Zoom right now. So I'm not saying that it's 9 a.m. to talk. But if anyone comes, I'll tell you. Let's continue from there. That's why CET Manager Mcdonald and Policy and Project Manager Nadali Harnett have the opportunity to explain these things.

Thank you. Thank you. I think everyone will have checked the logo we gave before this meeting. We wanted to give you an overview of the discussion. We have prepared some slides for that. This is to remind us what we are here for and what we expect from the traditional hospitality process. Therefore, we have included some questions in the memo and have added them in the slides. To remind us what we want to know, this will help us to re-examine the issues raised in the last council retreat. Last time, when we discussed the main city goals, the discussion was about changing from the current way and moving to another way to reduce the weight of the main goals. In another way, it seems that it benefits council members and the society in many ways. It becomes a very valuable asset in terms of budget advancements or long-term prospects. This can be done by creating a demand and making it difficult for temporary things to take place. We discussed that we should find a way to accept the programs and major services in our state. Starting with a major city goal, it will eventually become a part of our daily activities. How can all these programs decide on natural resources and services? We will also be able to understand what the public will gain from the security they conduct. It is important to understand how a program started as a major city goal has turned into a sustainable service and what is the value of it for everyone. It is also important to know how these things work with the methods in our country. We have so many methods. To ensure that these methods are being followed, we have hired volunteers to carry out the activities and activities carried out by Shubharsh. We want to know where all of them are and focus more on them. All of this leads to a hope. If there is a systematic method that lasts longer than the two-year budget cycle, it will help us to ensure progress and focus more on it. It will also help us to inform the people that things that will not happen this year will happen in the coming years. It will be helpful in the whole. So, we are thinking of a sophisticated method to solve these things. So, if we go to that slide, we tried to find out the outcome of a sophisticated method in the outline. It can be shaped in the way we need. So it can be shaped in many ways. Traditionally, we start by reflecting on the purpose and action of the method. After sharing it with the public, we find out the principles that you all come together to clarify. After reflecting on those technical principles or goals, you define what the purpose of that principle is. Finally, we aim to make a special contribution. We are trying to find ways to help or find methods within the limited time limit. We have found that the main services or activities that the cities are giving are helping or helping Mungan to recover. This is a way to give acceptance to the things we are doing and not to lose interest. I think this will be helpful for our budget actions. So we can see that everything is coming together. We had asked three different questions in this webinar. That is, how will the Adistana incident be? Is there anything that you like and that we can use? Then how long should the vacation period be? It would be good to start with a period of 4 to 6 years. For some reason, traditional methods have a 5-year period. But I think it is better to agree with our budget cycle. So a year with a double cycle would be good. Four years will be a turning point for our main city goals and a change that will be in line with the system, so it will be appropriate for us. So, these were the three main issues we discussed. Mayor, do you want to stop and talk one by one or do you want to come back after all the slides?

We can complete all the slides and then come back and share our opinions. Okay.

There was a discussion about how to implement it in such a process about the nature, scenery, and values of the city. The vision statement in our memo and the mission, vision, and value statements implemented in other regions have also been implemented. We have a lot of resources in place. A vision statement was accepted by the Council years ago. We can update that. In addition, there is an objective proposal in the General Plan. Therefore, there are questions about whether it should be moved forward or part of it. Or should we implement this as a business? Let me say, if we are looking at the general plan statement, it is part of the general plan, so whether we want to update it or change it, it has to be done through a general plan analysis process. This is all related to each other, so Timmy is with us. So, let's talk a little about it. So, we would like to investigate whether you are interested in updating anything in such matters, whether you need it now or in the future. We would like to investigate how this process will work financially and our outreach plan. This year, we are hosting two surveys. It is a little different. Because, we are doing a community sentiment survey based on the status data that has not been done for a long time and an ordinary community priority survey that is part of our financial assessment process. So, we have found out how to do those surveys in this situation. We see the community priority survey that we usually do as a way to get feedback about the strategic plan. Therefore, we ask questions that raise awareness about this system, and we look for their opinions on that planning and the things to be done in the next two years. That is what we are thinking. Therefore, we expect some reactions about that idea. Then we have given an introduction to the ideas. To help in strategic planning, we are reusing the normal financial plan process. This is a short version of the questions we had hidden in the memo. I think that's all. Isn't it? We have some back-up slides with mission value statements. If you have any questions, we have more material. We can move forward from there. Good. Thank you, Avalokanth.

I know that we have to turn it into different sections. Different parts. Keep these questions in your hands. We would like to inform the public that there will be a general opinion section after the questions and that it will take place before the final decisions. Before the final discussions. In other words, what we decide is not so important. This is just an unnecessary discussion. We will not discuss the next land restoration or anything else. So, if you have any questions, please raise your hand or press the 9 button. We will hear your opinions. So, I would like to turn this meeting into several parts. But before that, I wanted to get a view of the whole of this. When I heard more about the technical level, I thought, is it a new level again? But this is one of the things that unites what we do, shows the society what we do, and helps us move forward. When I think about it, I realize that this is not a new method. This shows where our current methods are moving and where they are going. When we talk about the main goals of our city, some people think that we used other things, but we haven't done that. We are still moving forward in our main jobs and in many other areas. So, I would like to make this clear through this strategic plan. I would like to speak first about the nature of the matter, the nature of this slide, the viewpoints, and the sources. Thank you. Because we have such values in our economy that we have been making for more than two years. So, do we need a different view on this system or do we need to combine both? I would like to hear your opinion on this.

Will I be able to ask some common questions based on what you said about bringing all these different methods together to a major, technical level? My question is this. When we look at some of the plans that you have sent in particular, it is all part of our activities, but I don't think it is in line with our main city goals. So, do you think that this strategic planning process will work in harmony with our main city goals? Or, will this be replaced by our current main city goal process? Or, will the main city goal process, which was previously included in our strategic plan, become a budgeting and work plan development process that lasts for two more years? Or, will it be the second option?

So this is the goal. If we accept a four-year strategic plan, it will make your entire goals and goals clear. The next two years will be the financial plan, and the things we intend to do within those two years will be determined from it. So when that financial plan ends, we will look at the strategic plan again and conduct a survey. Are we doing the same thing again? Or are we moving forward with the next step that we have already decided? Are we thinking of completely updating the technical plan? That is the benefit of a definitive view. My intention is that you are creating a way for society and the living to be a little more clear. So the society can see where we are going. In three years, the living will know and help us to do meaningful things. But we know that things are changing. So it is necessary to conduct a social survey. There are some institutions that conduct a systematic plan every year. You can conduct only one plan or make a completely new plan. Isn't that right? All these will depend on the needs of the council, the community and the interest of the community. Normally, if this is a five-year plan, you can conduct a test in two or three years and make a small change, and make a new plan five years from now. It may be the same as before, but you will have gone through that process again. So, you just have to look at the large parts and front clouds every four years. So, instead of doing it for 5 years or some other period of time for every 2 years, I feel that we were just making changes there. For example, for 1 year or 2, in one financial system, the income and the salary were the same. In the next financial system, we changed it, so we were just making changes. So, we may not need discussions about those big things for every 2 years. Then, I have a question. This is mainly with the staff. Is this more work or less work? Because I am not a big fan of complaints, but I am very interested in hearing about the efforts, excess work, the problems that people feel, and the things that new people have started to behave badly. Therefore, instead of hearing positive things like, oh, we are doing all these things, we are doing it in the best way, we are helping people. Therefore, I would like to know, will this help urbanization or will this create a kind of inequality? For example, if a small amount of compensation is avoided, will it be avoided for five years? Are we going to worry about the problems of our regular residents or the protection of our tenants for five years? Do you understand what I am saying? This is what I liked about the two-year plan. I am not against the strategic plan, but when things come, there is a certain amount of delay in it. Then I am paying attention to the present time. Oh, we are going to do this for six years. What will happen in six years? We always want to be people who respond to the residents. So, what is your opinion on the amount of work? For our team to get a clear idea of what the city's priorities are, I will say that it will be a method that will help us to concentrate more time. If we talk about what you decide, but we talk about more than two years, it will take more time for us. Yes, we have a way to move forward. It is expected that it will help to maintain our attention. So, again, please pay attention to the things that you and the community and the representatives of the community say are priorities. Okay. We all know that things will happen. They are coming up. We will definitely deal with them and deal with them day by day. This is what happens when they come up during council meetings and budget processes. It is good if everyone has a clear view of what is important in the context of what the community said and what the council said and what the progress in four years is. It is helpful for everyone to see and remember what that view is. Again, you know this completely. If the aim is to continue the two-year main city goal process, that is also completely correct. However, this is a tool that helps everyone to focus on their priorities.

So, in short, do you think that this will make it easier to work if the workload is reduced or if the workload is reduced? Or do you think that this will make it more clear in the priorities and duties of the city?

I will tell you that our living beings often ask me what those views are and what those predictions are. When all the biggest and biggest things in us become predictions, none of them become predictions. That is how we can complete everything at the same time in the literal sense. We can't. That's why we need to be able to decide where to spend our energy. We need to decide where to spend our energy from the body that has been chosen, that is, from the basis of the instructions we get from you. That's why this is a method for you to give that clear instruction. You know, we have a cycle of two years so far. We are trying to stick to it. If we get a little more time, it will help that vision. I have one more thing to add to that.

I think that the goals stated in the Constitution are very important. But they only include a small part of the city council. Therefore, the police officers and the armed forces will not be able to respond to you in your goals. That's a good thing, because it means that we have a base of security and that we will get it naturally. But when it comes to budget decisions, you are only looking at the front lines of where we should reach in a council. The rest of the parts are gone. Let's see what has brought you to your daily activities from your previous goals and years. So, not only the consequences of the accident, but those who decide what you are actually doing will be able to understand this. I think this will help you to fulfill your wishes, that is, the council will fully know about what we are doing. Because you are not interested, it is because you are not interested, you are not interested, it is because you are not interested, it is because you are not interested, it is because you are not interested, it is because you are not interested, The council will be able to think about how it will affect the road registry if more things are included in the road registry. I believe that the council members should have shown the parts of the iceberg that were not visible. I believe that there is a big iceberg of details in Alameda's strategic plan. When I talk to the CET manager about this method, I see that they are working day and night, even when they are updating the method of each unit. They are working hard like a sleeping bird, with their feet on the floor. But the society doesn't see it all the time. I'm thinking about the old binders. All the binders on a bookshelf are working at the same time. But because it is a part of the iceberg, the community can't see it. So, this is the reason for my excitement. At first, it wasn't that exciting, but now it's visible to the CET staff and the community. Oh, yes, they haven't used the help of the IELP. They can understand that there is action going on. I think it is important to understand that things are happening here and that everything can be seen a little more clearly and visually. Also, it is important to understand that those arrangements often need to be changed. Mayor, can I ask you something?

Yes, please go ahead.

I will continue with what the council member said. If we take the matter of beauty as an example, I think it is a very important part of your wishes for things that seem to be failures, right? Because in a society where we do a lot of things well and win, it is our fundamental expectation. Therefore, most of your living beings do not see great pride or enthusiasm in their own plays. That's why they can't hear it. I think it will help us to understand what we are doing. People who are in trouble are actually doing an extraordinary job. But some people have a little perfectionist nature, so they tend to focus on the wrong things and get caught up in them. Then that's what you hear. I think it's very disturbing. Therefore, I think that thinking and discussing about the good things that the society and the society as a whole does in such a way will be beneficial. Okay, that's nice.

No, it's nice for the people to say that it is difficult for you to say that you have more work load or that it is difficult to determine priorities. We are happy to know that we are hearing it and that we are getting it. At the same time, when we go this way, we must ensure that no other bureaucracy is created that is more strict. It should not prevent the needs of the residents from being implemented in the budget. I think that's what the two-year city budget has done. I remember when young people used to need a skateboard park. Through the community forum and through this process, they were able to get it. It became a major city goal. Now we have a skateboard park. Now we have some problems related to that park. Anyway, then you know, right? It is a way for the residents of the community to suggest anything. It is not ready. It may be new, or it may be a revolution, or it may be a special event. I want to ensure that we do not finally turn into a cruel bureaucratic system. This is the reason to ban the residents. The residents should feel that they have gained power through our budget.

Valiya Vijayam.

Yes, no. I think this is a simple assumption. But if I am wrong, please correct me. Even if we don't agree in two years, whatever the rules we choose here, we will only look at the language used by them to test new methods or methods. It will be re-tested in two years, and we will look at what we add in the list and what is new. This is the real sense of how we approach this. That's why Chattakudu will continue for four or five years. But as the needs of the community change, and as the public learns about their needs and priorities, the patterns will change. From the civics perspective, all the plans I looked at seemed very exciting. Because I felt it was in my mind. This is an exciting thing. Yes, when you announced this in our brown box, I was very excited. But when I asked other cities how they handled it, they said it was very small. That is, some of them were smaller than others. But they were able to understand it easily. Within five minutes, I was able to see how they handled this thing on the right. Then, it felt like a real thing. I know where it is hidden in their method, who is handling it, and when it is completed. That's good. Yes. Then their departments are not much different from ours. That's right. But the way it is organized is different. So, from the perspective of the industry, I think this is a great question. I expect it to be a re-organization of what we are doing now. But, yes, I am sure this is more difficult than that. But, yes, I don't know. This is definitely what we are doing. But it is more clear. According to the views of the people, community development is also a part of many activities, especially in the context of Bavanarahidhar Ayalpaka Saugyam. Then, the matter of Bavanarahidhar is a good example. When examining the main city goals of this year, I felt that these are part of our daily activities to prepare the methods of action. Therefore, if you look at it, many of them are not special. What continues to work with Gap as a Law? This is a continuation. As far as I'm concerned, it's okay. I think it's okay now. That's when I first felt it. I still want to be able to say that this is very important to the council and the community. But is it a major city goal or is it a financial proposition? Otherwise, it's a waste. That's why when I first looked at it, I said, what's the problem here is that this should be an activity. When two years pass, we should be able to look back and say, we did this skate park, or not. We still do this and we still do that. That's very good. But I think it's bad to do it from the point of view of a major city. Because we still need a place to say that it is a very important thing to the society. But if you think about it, that's why I feel very excited about this strategic plan. It can be a two-year plan. At the same time, we can also stop the long-term things that the society is paying attention to. Then I think the other part is very important. Another thing to think about is the public opinion, isn't it? For example, in the case of Parpidam, developers have to implement methods for years. Now, when they have plans for two years, they are thinking, okay, good. Parpidam is a major city goal. They have a housing element, but apart from that, the council and the city are also an agency, how to say that they will pay attention to this issue for the long term. So, when looking at the future of community development, I think such a method is very expensive to understand how to renovate in a remote area and how to bring these things to the right places. Isn't this the meaning of the excuse of Ayalpakam that things related to Bavanarahidhar Parpidham are being ignored? It should be the goal of a housing element that has been witnessed, right? Within the next two years. But how important is Parpidham to the community? We have to ponder this. Let me ask you a question.

I think this can be a way to get rid of what I see. The reason you described now is one of my strengths. Yes, we are doing a lot of great things, but we still don't have a way to say how much we should unite people with their families, whether it is ten percent or three percent, or how much we should increase it.

I think there is a way to achieve smart elections on this. This can be shown to the community that we have done something in the case of Bhavanara Hidhar. Certainly, we have done a lot of things. We know that even when we conduct these meetings and give monthly updates. But we can only see it at the end of our monthly financial process. Yes, that's right. We are continuing to work with CAPS Law. You are saying that there is something that the community does not hear.

The goal is to be measured. I think that's where we can get things out of the list. That's right.

So, I don't think there's a moment of silence in that video. There's no problem. Timmy, everyone else, please forgive me. Director Troyan, everyone is talking a little more unnecessarily. So, it feels a little strange. If we think about how much of this we can take away from others and all of us who are involved in this, Oh, Welcome Home Village is opening. So this year we think we can do this, this, and this. Some of that will have to be moved to the next year. I don't think that such meetings are happening in reality because we don't have a clear plan. We have technical methods, sorry, each department has technical methods, then the main objectives of the city, plus there are projects or other methods, but there is a branch that can handle this. I think so. We have the skills to build this as we need, right?

Then the most important part for me is that the objectives can be really measured and they are completed and removed. Skate park is complete. Or this, you know, this Welcome Home Village is opening, isn't it? Or it is being removed at any cost. This is not important anymore, this means. Because it continues to stand. But we can show the real progress to the society and we can take the real progress. But it was a good opinion. Where do we have to report some things in this? Where do we have to include KPIs? That is one thing that can be included in this. Can I add some more things to that? I think that when we look at a budget from a perspective, it is also very helpful. We will get as much time as we can see how much we are trying to achieve and how we are paying for it. That is becoming a problem. Because in the coming years when the budget becomes more expensive, we have to look at what to do and what not to do. However, there are metrics that are very clear and effective in avoiding the ongoing activities that we have been exposed to. Apart from 5 years of time, it takes time to find out how money is spent on things. It will help to find out how much money will have to be spent on a clear target, because that is the other side of it. We are now facing a big challenge of things that are about to come. The needs within organizations, the things we hear from the society, it will lead to more important achievements, but sometimes we move forward a little blindly because we don't know when it will happen. New things will always come up, won't they? That is why it is said that there should always be a plan in the budget to take action on things like El Nino or anything else that is about to come. Therefore, we have the skill to take action when such things come. But if we can make it a little more clear, what does it mean by rehabilitation and reunification? How many people do we want to target for rehabilitation? And all this is a great help in the issue of health care. Moreover, if we can know more things, it is much easier to do the rest of the things. Therefore, I would like to say that we have the advanced methods, strategic plans, and strategic plans of the Fire Department and Police Department. I would like to know how they are related to each other. That is, they all have a five-year period, right? Then my other question is, if the whole city is making a tactical plan, how do these big plans that we are talking about come together? I think it's in Alameda. They have put together all the tactical plans that are in their control, and they are adding projects related to a plan to the list of projects according to their priorities. That's why, we can think of a way to tell where something is coming from. That is, about that work plan, that project, that goal. If that's the case, everyone can see how they are related to each other. I think that's it. Yes, I think that's ours. Did you see? Okay. That is, 13 out of 37 levels. So, we can come up with a solution like that. Nathali has begun to make a plan for our plans, when she accepted it and when she should renew it. So, we have completed a good part of the work related to it. Those projects and work plans are coming into the work plan in the current way. So, we will continue the things that we have promised to the public in a sustainable manner. Yes, they cross-reference which plan they are coming from.

Yes, let me think about it. We can do that job. We can make it possible. Greg, then Mike.

Certainly, when it comes to the things that can be measured, I have to add that the surveys based on the current figures are another major factor, which we have not done regularly before. But instead of focusing on the progress, it will focus on the feedback and satisfaction of the people for their services. It can be updated regularly and can be used as a data point to decide which methods to take forward in the financial process of each two years. In a city where I had previously worked, there was a good habit of conducting such surveys every two years. It was one of the most effective details we got as staff. We continued to present it in front of the council and helped in the budget process to decide where to focus the issues at the DADA level. Therefore, I think it would be a great benefit for the decisions we make in Bavi to become more flexible. I think it would be a great decision. We have a lot of people in our community who support us, but it would be a great thing to reach out to people who don't support us regularly. Yes, Council member Goodman. Yes, when I prepared the financial plan last time, I was a little disappointed in the proximity of the main city goals. When we study history, we are adding things together, but now they are not that complex, because they include many things that we do. So, I'm thinking about how to change this. Scott, I appreciate what you said earlier. Can any citizen in the city see their job as a major city goal? For example, pure drinking water. That's right. That's a major city goal. Of course, that's one thing. It's one of the most important things we do. That's right. But we never say it. That's how we don't make it special. The reason is that we do it. It's like the bottom of a mountain. It's a natural thing we do every day. Therefore, I think it is valuable that the main city features that include all the activities of the city should have such a dimension. It has been done in many ways in some of the plans we have investigated. It includes all the activities that are important to us. Again, can you say that all the people in the city are working for that goal? That is my goal. For example, like doing clean water distribution or ensuring the safety of our community. Then we can include more complicated things. It depends on which period of time you see it for two, four or six years. I always think that we can continue what we have done and maintain the same lifestyle and budget. That is, we know what we do every day and how to do it. Then there are things like, this is not right, we have to change it, or this is a new problem that has never been seen before, we have to deal with it, or we are neglecting it for a long time, now we have to focus on it. Therefore, we must be able to focus our attention on the things we see and create such creative thoughts. We must also find a way to get ahead of those things to a certain extent. I also like KPI expectations. At the same time, it will help us to say whether we are moving in or out of the solution. Some things will never be resolved, so we must be able to say that we are making progress in them. Another thing is this discussion about the other strategic plans we have. I think it would be valuable to make such plans the basis for this strategic plan. I really liked Alameda's plan. I think that's what they did the most. They said that we have a lot of strategic plans. There are a lot of things in it. We can accept that. We can establish a direct relationship with those plans. So, I am interested in thinking about how to build it. Another thing I would like to say is that if we think about the way we operate in our city, we can see the main features of our state's main city features as D, financial development. But if we look at the way we operate in the city, it seems that this is what Alameda has done. Let me review some of my points. They are things that are immediately expressed in all features. That is how we have organised the city, isn't it? We don't have any particular plan for sustainability. We are taking action on a higher level, because we know that there should be sustainability in everything that we do, including water, public safety, and public welfare. The same is true for the financial development of D.U. They are actually a part of everything. Therefore, I would like to say that cleanliness is not just a small thing that makes us walk. It is a part of everything we do. I was trying to find out who did it. It may be Alida. I will check again after a while. Anyway, that's all my thoughts for now. If we go straight to the question, I don't think we need to spend more time on the Darshan Rega or the Dautya Prasthavana. I think what we need is enough. Our Darshan Rega has a very close relationship with the general system. So, if we are not ready to change the Darshan Rega, which is the guide of the general system, we don't have to get involved in it. I believe that there are only 9 major resources in Karlsbad. I liked it. They don't really have a vision. There are things like public safety in our vision. It is in general, but it was not mentioned in the 2017 Constitution.

San Luis Obispo is a community of people who have accepted the existence of the San Luis Obispo as a symbol of its past. Its main sources are consciousness, integrity, diversity, integrity, responsibility, solidarity, and resistance. Is what I am saying wrong or new security? If we think from the outside, what is our job? Municipal government, the health of the residents, safety, comfort, etc. This is what we are talking about our responsibility. So this is a pleasant thing for me. I was not in the council in 2017. But public safety is a pleasant thing to be avoided from it. But our view is that the diversity of nature and the rich nature of the land is part of a sustainable system. I have to admit that I like this. I think I have helped write this in a way. But the importance of safety, the quality of the city, the awareness of our place and the loneliness of the people who come here is also very important. They need a safe environment. They need a healthy environment. They need a healthy nature. Now, that is, there are rules here about the places that are closed every year. Now, whether we stop it or not, whether it ends there or not, whether we have done it or not, that is, every year it will be closed. Are you trying to say that the main goal of the city is the land? Yes, it has become a major city goal. This is something that is kind of confusing. So far, the city has been able to say that it is.

Will the reason be that there are no open spaces?

Yes, I think she meant it as a goal. Okay. So, a major city goal. This is an objective wish for people, isn't it? Because we are the owners of that open space, aren't we? So, it's not that it's not there. The reason is that it is in our possession. But in the next two years, the attention of the city will be on what, isn't it? I think it is part of what I tried to say. I think open spaces are a major part of the city. That's what we're doing as an infrastructure.

We have a program, it is well-established, it has leadership, volunteers and funding, and we want it to continue to run. So, whether this is a goal or a foundation, whatever you call it, it is a living thing. But the question is, is the development of it in the right way? That is, we can say that what we are doing now is going on at the same speed and measure, or that the open space of the places we open is not going forward so fast now. Or we can say it directly to someone else. That's enough for us. We have finished. Double Quote, that is, we will continue to maintain it, will do all those things. So it continues as a major asset. But it does not regulate the methods to be implemented. It does not regulate the two-year budget plans. That is, the main goal of the city, which was the protection of open spaces for years in the past, was that we were trying to complete a greenbelt. In addition, it was important to accept land in the two-year financial process for the funding provided. Go to the council and apply for it. We will pay you for that. Then, over time, it only became a matter of accepting the value. So, I don't think it's right to remove the one that was in the past. That's right. That's why we have so much funding. So, when we get it, we'll review it again. That's why it's now a known thing. This is an account. If you get it, it's part of your job to find it. But we don't have the land we have now in the other three of the Greenbelt. So it's not that it's not there, it's part of the daily routine.

If it can't be done within the next two years, we don't set it as a major city goal. But if we get any place, we'll plan it. So I'll take us back a little.

We have seven questions, only 40 minutes. Also, if there are opinions from the public, it will take a little time. So when we went back to the city and to the timeline, we spent a lot of time on the fourth issue. Again, we don't have to make decisions today. This is a discussion. We can come back to the fourth topic, but I would like to make sure that we are talking about the rest. Is this a new way to do this strategically, strategically, or is this a new way to prepare the budget for this year? This is a question. The staff's opinion wants to know about this. So I make this a question.

Therefore, if we are moving forward, I intend to take this along with the budget process itself. We do not want to trouble people by conducting continuous surveys, right? Therefore, it is advisable to use the methods and methods that we use to create awareness about the budget. Using our survey process, we can inform people that we are starting our two-year financial process. We do this historically. It would be good for people to have a four-year time limit to understand things. Then it will be clear to them what to say about it. The Council plans to develop and accept a systematic plan that lasts for four years. We are looking for opinions on the future plans for the next two years, right? I'm not saying this is the right way to say it. I know that there will be good ways to say this, but my wish is to implement a flexible process as part of the budget process, so that we can finally accept the budget, the two-year financial process, and the long-term flexible process at the same time. However, we will accept your opinions through our ordinary processes that have been implemented by the community forum. I really like community forums. It is a wonderful experience. I don't think we should ever use it. This is the best way to get people's opinions and accept their opinions. But I think. According to the current statistics, this survey, as Greg said, I think we will get an area that can be moved to Bavi. But in issues like public safety, if there is anything that we do not know in the normal world, this can help us find it. Some people may have desires. They do not get the kind of response they want from our first responders. But we do not hear it. We do not hear it in the main city planning process. Because some people feel that it is time to bring new ideas. Well, it's time to say what we want to say on the basis of our consumption. Consumption. Then we will get some of that feedback through the survey to help us with that big picture. And I brought more than you needed. But... That's what I really thought you thought.

But I wasn't 100% sure. It's actually a process, but we get two results from it.

That is, the teaser plan and the budget. Can I ask you all a question? Does it mean 4 or 6 years instead of 5 years? Because, when it is time to renew or redo something related to the financial system, we keep it at the same level. Because, if we say 5, we will have to go back to that conversation and do a lot of work.

That's right. 5 is wrong because it's in the middle of an economic system. That's right. I think starting 4 years is good.

Let's see how it works. In the next 3 years, we can talk about whether we really need 6 years. As I remember from our budget process, you are actually doing it. Because in these 2 years, you are telling us what we can do. What can we do in the next four years, they say here. As I keep saying in England, it's getting less. It's going to be a bit like that in Bavaria. Then the CIB will change in ten years. I understood what you meant. I appreciate what you can do in this reality. But, at the beginning of the process, I am interested in the hope that the main city goals will be achieved. Thus, people will not get angry, or they will not feel that the residents are avoiding the process. We are still a small city. We are still small. But we think we are great. We are not as big as Alameda. That's for sure. Oh, no. Alameda. But we have more methods.

Do you have more methods here?

I think I can work with this. I think it's a good time to start four years. I like to move forward with the healing process. Because people bring their expectations, dreams and wishes to this process and tell us what they want. They may not know if it can be completed in two years. So, when they try to give what they want, it will help us to make things more practical. Yes, that's what I mean.

Then, I think, in the matter of four years... Okay, let me ask this in a slightly different way. Can you all come and tell us, as a group of Vedas, after four years, what we are going to do in the next four years, in the next two years, according to the monthly standards in our groups? So, is the discussion about the refugees we always talk about here or what is a refugee? I can't really say. I think this will make it more clear to us. Because then you will be able to know what you are looking for. I would like to include this for all groups.

Because we cannot decide how our business will be in the next four years. So, I encourage some Pinduna groups to move out of that framework.

Not for all departments. HR is also in a similar situation. Yes, that's very true. But what we couldn't do because of what we were doing, this shows what it is. Yes. Because of doing something else. Yes. Because of that.

Yes, but the CET attorney was able to build your office through this process. It was very clear that it had to happen.

Because I have a very skilled legal analyst. They have the ability to focus their attention on the technical views and opinions. They shouldn't do this.

Your workload. Your workload cannot be controlled. I think this is a promise to the police and the fire department. That is, what happens if there is a fire? They have to face the reality every time. There are other articles that can be seen with more clarity about what is going to happen in the CIP-CIP in the next chapter. You know, right? Yes. That's why. Okay. So, if we go back to the first thing, I think everyone has a general opinion that we have not made the sub-contract last, but that a sub-contract will be good.

Today, according to what we hear, Alameda is the most affected, but even if Santa Cruz and Carlsbad do not have a vision section, one of our main goals is that they have a community that has energy, health, and resistance for everyone in Carlsbad and Santa Cruz. So, we have a dream in our general plan, and we don't have to create anything special for that. Instead, we can take it from the general plan and integrate it into the strategic plan. Is this a good summary of what you all said? I liked this general idea.

I think you can name any of the strategic priorities, major city goals, and any name you want, but I think Alameda is a good example of how pleasant it is to do it well. They have big departments. From there, they do the technical things, and then they move it to the proper facilities. That's why I liked it. Then, KPI and KPI have not been included in this budget. Even though there are some KPIs in our budget, they have gone very deep. Not only that, because they have many technical terms, an ordinary person cannot understand whether it is important. That's why I always talk about the goals of Boulders. Because they have a very good web page, and through 3 or 4 bullet points, they have clearly shown how we can measure the success of these clouds. I'm not saying that they should be compared to them. But I really liked the way they explained things. If you go directly to that page and click on the link, you can see what KPI is and how they operate. This is different for each group.

It's a big deal how it can be measured, right? I think that Karlsbad is doing a good job of acting very clearly in their major projects. They talk about specific projects and make it clear whether it is complete or not. But yes, I haven't looked at the boundaries for a long time, but I remember that they have a very good language and history. Yes. I think that we can use these programs and services as part of this process, and we can use them for the future. We will also have the opportunity to examine whether any of the four services should be paid more attention to. It will become a new profession, right? For example, it makes it clear that more employees are needed in the police department. Dispatch service is also changing systematically. Therefore, it would be very convenient to know that it is necessary to increase the service level in the major service centers. It would be a great benefit for us to be able to understand those things correctly, and for that the living will have to take the lead. You will not get great complaints from the public about the problems of dispatch services, but we know the difficulties behind it. We know that these things are now very important, so we will explain it to you as a topic to discuss. Like Council member Boswell said, it would be a good thing for people to be able to see themselves in this region. I don't know if this should be included in the basic elements of the plan, but it can be helped. When it comes to summer, it can be explained a little more clearly through the planning process. That's right.

I'm sorry, Greg. That's all I wanted to say. We're thinking about improving the quality of all services provided by the City Council. Emily and Jackson and I talked yesterday. Improving the standards in the Budget Regulation will help us to connect them to the quality of our services. We'll be able to include such important things in the Budget Regulation. We can discuss this as part of the strategic plan, but what we intend to do is to create a more consistent plan and the appropriate measures as part of the budget regio.

I think it is very important to find a way to talk about how to deal with major problems such as leg pain. Leg pain is more common. When the question of whether the solution to the problem of poverty is to be taken into account is raised, it is possible that other parties of the permanent residents are also affected by their problems. Therefore, when we look at how we respond to things related to the residents, I would like to ensure that there are such actions in place for any strategic goal. The things we do all day should not be in any way related to our strategic goals. Kaalpoly is getting stronger and stronger. Not only in the hands of students, they have now taken over the Valajo campus as well. They are growing, so how much do we trust them like a seed outside the field? Will our city become the capital of Kaalpoly in the future? I am not sure how this will be implemented in our traditional way. But we have to be able to prevent a certain amount of pollution with the use of feet. We all like the use of feet. I know that. But I am not sure how such big changes will be implemented in this traditional way. I would like to get instructions from the council on where to get these advancements. If most of the council members think that this is an advance, we need to make it clear what it means. What is the purpose? How will you explain it? What can be measured in that issue? These are some comprehensive issues. If this is a project, we can clearly understand what that project is and how it can be handled. Or, what kind of major projects can it be included in? When we look at this area and the complex projects we are looking at, I meant to say that there are large sections that can be included in this, such as in the major urban goals, as seen in many articles. Therefore, there are ways to include the protection of the residents in this. There are ways to include things called community wellness. When we consider what our main city goals have been so far, if we are going this way, there are places where we can include those departments. That is why we are in a process of progress. We have been growing in this for a long time. I think this is more clear than what we are doing.

So, there is more room for us to say the important things more clearly than to limit things. I don't know, that's what attracted me to this. We can get into this more deeply. At the same time, the public can understand it more easily. Like the actions behind the government,

Then when I ask the community, what do you do for a living? Oh, I want families to be able to enjoy in the way they like. Some people may have a dream of ice rink, or it may be parks that are more clean and easy to reach. When I hear that, I feel happy. Can we bring more of that? Or whatever that dream world is, it's right.

Yes, yes, if you look back at the time when the skate park was built, you can see the families saying, Hey, we need more places to play. We need more facilities to do things. Public safety is also included in it. So it can be clearly shown to us through a tactical method. as well as natural resources. Parks and other activities are also included. When you reach that level, what do you see in our community? That is, safe drinking water, safe parks, safe playgrounds, safety in public spaces, and reduced crime rate. By the end of this process, I think all this will become very clear. Community members and people will be able to see themselves and understand what their city will look like in the near future. That's why I don't know about it as much as I know about me. I'm sorry. In that regard, it really makes me angry. Okay, maybe you know.

SLO members want it to be approved.

Yes, yes, of course. Then I think, for example, how do you eat an elephant? It's sometimes a snack, isn't it? So where do we give those snacks? That's where you start to see it. Or we take something long, we can change it there. But this is an elephant again. So I expect that at least a little help will be given to everyone involved in this. Let's go back to the Bengalis.

So, I think we have answered from 1 to 3. I think the fourth one has been changed for the time being, because it is included in the general method. Let's see how it will be with Chhatta. Okay.

I have a general opinion about the same. For example, I really liked the presentation of our viewpoints on the old mission statement, when we examined the samples so far. I think some things that are not included in this or some words can be added to it to make changes. But I think one page of that Dauthiya Prasthavana is very old. And then, I heard it and used it. Not that clear. Then, some foreign words have been mixed in it. So, this is not like a Dauthiya Prasthavana that I have seen normally. But I also know that writing a moral statement is another big process. A moral statement, a statement, a financial statement can be another big process. So I don't know if we should start eating that elephant now, or if it is something that can be helped by someone to help us in the future. However, I would like for us to have the same culture, views, and values. Because I feel that different styles are being used in different places. I agree. I would like to say something about Pleasanton on page 12.

They express their views, culture, and values very well. Placenten society's vision and vision. Our mission is to represent the goal of the establishment of Placenten. I really like that. Then the values. Then those values represent the values of society.

That's why the time we have now is needed for this.

Even if it is done in one format, I am looking at the strategic plan. Things that have been made since 2017 can be moved to that format. It will make it clear that things are not going the way we intended. When the general plan is renewed or the financial plan is prepared, we can update those things.

Yes, I thought that making a strategic plan would help us. To understand things.

Yes, to clearly understand what is going on here.

Yes, I think it is better to ask this question later. Yes, I think so too. We got the opportunity to delve into more details. Yes. But I think both are valuable. That is, the general method and vision presentation. Yes, I like the presentation. The vision of this city over the last 40 years is still there. Yes. I think that's one of the reasons why people have a good opinion about this community. We have not grown independently like El Alifebe. Yes.

When we come to the point where our values and values are changed, I am more interested in the word goal or intention than values. Some may not like it that much. You are thinking like a school. Yes. Oh. Some see it that way.

I want to avoid those expectations. Therefore, when we stand on one word, we should not question it. This is our intention, I think. This is the aim of our city. If you want to use another word, I don't mind. But what I am saying is, when we say Dautyam, it just makes us feel uncomfortable. We can avoid that. We can think clearly. When we say our mission, what is our goal? That is, the mission has more meaning than space vehicles, right? That's why. Okay, our mission is to represent our goal. That's why.

Yes, that's why I said it. Let's call it a goal.

Sometimes people have doubts about their goals and vision in many institutions. That's why I think it would be good to make us clear. Yes. Anyway.

One view should be looking at the future. Yes. Yes. But some views are not like that. Yes. Yes. They say, we are this. Yes. That is not a view. Yes. There are times when we do not speak with the awareness about the place and the local existence.

That is an important thing. That is why I think what Shelton and Rubas said is correct. It should not only be applied to one department, but also to all departments. Yes. Each institution is like that. My division, my budget. Like saying, don't get involved in my budget. She's smiling, see? We are trying hard to change all that every day. We have the principle of one team. So, do we mean to say that the goal, the vision, the values should come after that? I would like to re-examine it. When we talk about council retreat again, we are thinking about council retreat. This is what we do to achieve the main city goals after the Ego Banaprakriya. So let's try to turn it into a tactical recreation process. For that, we can call it a tactical preparation for the main city goals. It will work in the same way, but for a longer time. It feels good to the society, because they don't have to see the language being changed. It may change over time, but there is a small change in management work here, and we are trying to make people understand what we are doing. So, through that retreat process, we can start by examining the views, goals, and values. My wish is that it can work for a whole day. Will we need another session to decide on priorities then? That's right.

Can we change that and decide later? Yes, I agree. Or we can think of other ways. I'm sorry. Yes, I agree. For one, you can call this the strategic goals of major cities.

Yes, we are thinking about it. I don't think that the council and staff are looking at the budget part. That is, we say, God, okay, this is what we are talking about the budget. But in reality, when people get into it, they talk. Actually, it's about technical things. I don't know.

So, we only have 10 minutes left. I think we have completed 1 to 4. I will postpone 4 for the time being. I will postpone 5 to 7 for the time being. But we can go back to 6 and 7. Isn't it related to 4? Yes, yes. So, does the council want to include a list of the programs and main events in 6 and 7?

We all felt the same. Yes, right. Then, does the council apply the guidance on time and people?

During that survey, I was satisfied. I felt that it was going very well in terms of finance. As you know, I am very interested in working with more and more people. So, like Council Member Marks said, I am wondering how you can help without too much work load. As far as the Council and society are concerned, I am optimistic about the support we provide you. So, how can we reduce that burden? Because, I know that such activities are very important. Especially, when we talk about technical advancements and the budget. But, I know that it is unnecessary to do more activities. So, how can I help you do some of those things? That's what I have to ask you. Can I ask you a question about the difference between the survey and the survey based on community surveys and statistics?

Yes.

I think it is important to make sure that these two things are separate issues. But don't make them one and the same. You don't want to ask the same kind of questions in the community survey and the current survey. Because when the two come together, you need to get more information. Otherwise, don't do the same thing or do the same thing. Then, one thing I have to say about community surveys is that, in the past few years, staff have done a good job in this. That is, I tried to make sure that people have the opportunity to receive their opinions. All the questions, you, you know, right? I am saying with curiosity. But do you agree that these are the five main priorities? Don't be like, what we have been doing for the past few years or you want something else. What is in it? That is, make sure that it has been implemented in a way that people get the opportunity. Anyway, the most enjoyable part is to show us. They should be able to share their real thoughts. They should be able to share their real thoughts.

They should be able to share their real thoughts. They should be able to share their real thoughts. They should be able to share their real thoughts. Similarly, it is important to send utility bills with an electronic form and if people have an automatic account, it should be sent as a hard copy. I don't know how many people are getting utility bills as hard copies now, or how it works properly. Then we have to be able to determine whether they are residents or not. This is very important, I think. Because it is our first duty as residents. It is important to serve the whole community. And we are not a county government. We are a San Luis Obispo city. Then the people who choose me are the people who live in the city, so I think that's important. So that's one thing. Um, community development impact fees may be required. I think it is our duty to ensure that it can be restored. Oh, I understand. But what do you mean by saying that we have to ensure? Um, what is it? We have to maintain our basic facilities according to the development. You know, right? I think if we go back to mailing. Yes, um.

We have tenants and property owners. They are not the same people all the time, but two-thirds of them are tenants, so I think it's good to make sure that both of them can do hard copy mail, because at the end of the day, whether they are property owners or property owners, whoever they are, that's their place. But the tenants are the ones who live there. You live here and experience us. So I need their opinion. So I need the opinions of both of them. Yes, I know it will be more complicated. But this is the first time we are preparing this method. So I think it will be very helpful if we act as the best protection in this first round. I didn't mean to send the survey as a whole. I'm saying that if you use a QR code postcard or a small link postcard, people will get it easily. Because we know that most of them don't use artificial intelligence. So, if we want to print a survey copy for them, how can we help them? How can we do that? Because we have a few people who write letters. Not many, but we can print it for the few people who need it.

Then you are saying that if it is through utility bills, only those who close the bills will get it, i.e. mainly only the tenants. Isn't it? Sometimes. I don't know the reason. Sometimes it's right. My son. Then let's talk about this. Do we have that? Yes. Yes, sometimes it is included in the water bill. Anyway, they should know it themselves. If it is a property or something like that, then we can understand it. Yes, there are three or four houses that are open for rent. Yes. The main thing is that we can take those details back. We can find out how the requirements of such properties differ from the residents and the tenants. Yes. We used to include this in utility bills, but now we can send a mail directly to all residents. Yes.

Anyway, we would be happy to see if we get more responses when we do that. Yes, just to make sure that we are getting the right amount. If there is a fire, let's see how much the difference in the cost is before making a simple request. I know you can't say that right away. But, yes, one thing.

We are a little different. Everyone has $6,000 to send through post. The difference in the cost, yes, is because we have changed the budget for our regular emails. Yes.

Does this cost everyone because we are talking about this? The cost of $6,000? Yes. For that? $46,000.

Oh, that's a lot. Oh. For everyone. That's the price of the city, isn't it? Yes, it's like a bulk mail postcard.

Yes, that's what we do for mail in the city. Yes, yes. That is, we can definitely do it. It would be a good thing. But...

Are you saying that a mail icon will cost $6,000? Are you saying that it is a hard copy? I have to make sure that I understand things. Like a postcard. Like a postcard for all residents. Like a postcard. That's it. With a QR code in it. QR code. That's it. Postcards are very good.

That's it. Some people are afraid to use QR codes. That's why I do both. That's it. With a QR code. That's it.

I don't think we can do this at the right time. When I came here, it was an hour long. So, how is this survey done according to the current statistics? I want to know something. Yes. We are talking about mailings and postcards, right? Each of them has a different bill.

There are different ways, but usually they use the data from voter registration forms. Then they look at our population and population statistics and decide how many people to bring in. In particular, they target people in various departments who are able to obtain a sample according to the current statistics. According to what we have done before, they are close to about 400 people. Since we are growing a little, we can increase it a little this time. Are you using the same facility that used Gopher and Gopher? For this reason, we have not yet decided on a location. We have approved the budget as part of this financial plan. Therefore, we would like to conduct this discussion with the Council. We will continue to act quickly. We have already made some recommendations for some of the locations. Therefore, we intended to do so before the Munkanana survey.

Therefore, we decided to conduct an opinion survey of the residents. After completing it, we will immediately move on to our regular Munkanana planning process. So, this is the answer to your question, Mayor, how can we help you? Just like how we ask for feedback in all budget periods, help us to inform people immediately. In addition, we are also going through the rehabilitation process in Deerga Kaladistan. Not only for the next two years, we also want your opinions on the big picture in Bavi. Therefore, if people are interested in what will be included in this or how it will be, we would like to let them know that we are still getting opinions from people. We want them to be a part of this not only for the next two years, but also for the coming years. We would like to help you find out what are the priorities that we need to pay attention to in the near future. So it would be good if this can be explained. Then another question that comes with this. Do we know that major surveys are being conducted by other cities in the county other than Grover?

It would be nice to hear the opinions of people from different communities that are so far away, wouldn't it? Not for the sake of entertainment, but just for fun. There are so many clients in California. They use the same type of test or the same questions.

So, we can make sure who we choose and do it accordingly. It is part of their service. They will provide you with instructions for their other client communities.

I like that idea. It's just one. It's fun.

Let's see what RFP RFP says. I think we have completed the rest of the mission, tools, and vision statements that she put in. She will have to postpone it for a while. Before the end of this year, I believe that you will invite us again to the retreat in February or in the financial stage. There is only one minute left now. There is no one left in Zoom, so I don't think there have been any comments from the public. Is there anything else to share with the staff in this regard? Very nice.

Before the end of this year, should we discuss specifically about the purpose and resources, or should we include it in the systematic recreation process that we are conducting during this time? I would like to decide what is coming out of the systematic recreation and how it should be done. So we will move on to the next steps. Okay, thank you. Okay. Thank you everyone. The meeting ends at 1 o'clock in the evening and you are dismissed for 30 minutes. Thank you. Strong team. You can do that.

This is a tactical method.
