The City's <br />outreach efforts included a total of nine events with more than 2,100 participants and recorded <br />over 1,300 comments from various community stakeholders such as residents, businesses, non- <br />profit organizations, students, faith -based community, property owners, educators, employees, <br />and others. <br />The City's strategic planning process and community engagement efforts resulted in a Strategic <br />Plan that includes a total of 7 goals, 33 objectives and 147 strategies. Of the 147 strategies, 108 <br />are funded within the budget and 39 are currently unfunded. In order to prioritize and allocate <br />funding to the remaining 39 unfunded strategies, staff prepared a matrix which was presented at <br />the March 18th City Council meeting. The matrix identifies funding priorities in three categories; <br />consensus (6 to 7 stars), general consensus (5 stars) and all others (1 to 4 stars) in descending <br />priority. It is important to emphasize that the unfunded consensus strategies are equivalent to <br />the $2M included in the revised five -year forecast approved by the Mayor and Council. General <br />consensus and all other remaining unfunded strategies add up to $3.5M. <br />The recommended action will allocate funding to consensus unfunded strategies as well as to <br />fund a youth sports scholarship program as recommended in the March 18th City Council <br />meeting. As additional funding becomes available, staff will provide further recommendations to <br />65A -1 <br />
