Goals Help Define City Work Program
It’s all about
prioritizing, as we determine how best to manage our time,
activities and resources.
Each fiscal year with your help, the
City of Monterey sets priorities. These objectives help establish
your City’s budget and guide our projects and work programs.
In
this issue of City Focus, we outline some of our priority activities
and provide you, our community members, with a status report. Inside
this annual report, which is distributed each fall, we review last
fiscal year’s (1999-00) activities and accomplishments and introduce
you to the priority activities now underway in the current year. We
also invite you to help shape our priorities for the coming year by
filling out the enclosed Community Survey. Please take five minutes
to fill it out and send it in by October 30.
Thank you for
participating! Together with residents and business owners we are
working to provide quality services that help make Monterey an even
better place to live, work and visit.
We have placed the various
goals and objectives into six categories. In most sections you will
find an update on some of last year’s activities and highlights of
the plans for this year. The categories are as follows:
- Public
Facilities - the buildings or land owned or leased by the
City;
- Historic
Preservation - policies and programs regarding historical
sites and activities;
- Social
- community outreach programs, workshops and volunteer
opportunities;
- Public
Safety - the police and fire departments;
- Economic
- development of City-owned property as well as programs that
enhance our community’s vitality; and
- Land
Use - issues about physical growth and development activities
in the City.
We strive to gather your input, comments and
concerns through many programs and activities – surveys, community
forums, public hearings, suggestion lines. This material helps us
shape and prioritize our projects. Many of the projects this year
reflect your earlier comments.
We invite you to get to know more
about your City and to get involved! Send us your comments or
suggestions.
