An element of the Sunshine Ordinance is the <br />development of a five -year Strategic Plan to re- establish the City's mission, vision and goals to <br />guide the City's future. In early 2013, the City Council established a Strategic Planning Ad Hoc <br />Council Committee to provide guidance in the strategic planning process. <br />The Ad Hoc Council Committee provided direction for the planning process and recommendation <br />for broad outreach efforts and involvement from various community stakeholders such as <br />residents, businesses, non - profit organizations, students, faith -based community, property <br />owners, educators, employees, and others. The City's outreach and community engagement <br />efforts included: community forums, workshops, meetings, focus groups, online survey, and <br />online comments which provided the basis to develop the five -year strategic plan. In total, the <br />City held nine outreach events with more than 2,100 participants and recorded over 1,300 <br />comments. <br />As a result, the Mayor and City Council, the City Manager, staff and the community worked <br />diligently to develop a five -year Strategic Plan. The mission, "To deliver efficient public services <br />in partnership with our community which ensures public safety, a prosperous economic <br />environment, opportunities for our youth, and a high quality of life for residents," serves as the <br />foundation for the City's seven goals. The goals are Community Safety; Youth, Education, <br />Recreation; Economic Development; City Financial Stability; Community Health, Livability, <br />Engagement and Sustainability; Community Facilities and Infrastructure; and Team Santa Ana <br />allow the City to align its efforts and resources to accomplish goals and achieve positive progress <br />for the community of Santa Ana. <br />65A -1 <br />
