Executive Summory
The City of San Juan Capistrano held a workshop on April 4,201'6 at the
Community Center Community Hall(25925 Camino Del Avion). The
retreat was an opportunity for the City Council to strengthen the
Council/staff team and for the Council and executive staff to discuss
priority goals for the year.
Council agreed on the top priorities within the top two tiers as presented
by staff. There are numerous projects within each of the top two tiers. All
projects listed will move forward, with the items in Tier 1 receiving the
most attention. In order to provide staff a sense of the highest priorities
within these two tiers, dot voting was done by the Council. The top
priorities that emerged in the top two tiers are as follows. (Se¿
Attachments A for a full list ønd Attachment C for ø photo of the workshop

workshop, hear Councilmember comments about accomplishments and
prioritieg and receive background information that will be helpful in
designing the workshop. Staff prepared information on the items
identified by Councilmembers as priorities as well as a number of other
projects that had previously been identified.

Discussion oÍ Priorities
Prioritization is important because there is limited staff and financial
capacity. Many of the projects identified as priorities require time from a
small group of staff at the executive and managerial level.
During this section of the workshop, the participants:
o Confirmed top tier priorities
o Confirmed second tier priorities
o Determined whether resources are or can be made available to
do everything on top two tiers
o Determined Council consensus
o Establishes how limited resources will be allocated - money, staff time,
Council time;o Allows for realistic assessment of what can be done, so that key ¡tems are
accomplished;o Considers the on-going work of the organization; and
o ls a way for policy makers and staff to be on the same page with
Effective Priority Setti ng

Options for Balancing the Budget in the Long-Run
The following options for revenue enhancement and expenditure control
were presented as shown below.
Priorities
The Council and staff first reviewed the status of the items on the list of
possible priorities shown in Attachment A. New items were added to the
initial list. A photo of the poster showing the actual dots is provided in
Attachment C.
Top Tier: Key Priorities and Primary Resource Allocation
These are the items that staff understands to be the Council's highest
priorities. The question for the Council was whether anything listed in
this top tier should be considered a lower tier.
o The Council agreed that everything listed was appropriate for the
top tier.
o Each Councilmember was given four red dots to be placed next to
their highest priorities within this top tier. The items receiving
three or more dots within this tier were:. Improve street maintenance and rehab program (5 dots)o Implement water reorganization (3 dots)o Process hotel projects (3 dots)
Second Tier: Efforts Also Underway
The items listed here are all being worked on by staff. However, if there is
a need to decide whether to work on one of these or one on the top tier,
the items in the top tier will take precedence for staff time.
o The Council agreed that the list is appropriate.
o Each Councilmember was given four yellow dots to be placed
next to their highest priorities within this top tier. The items
receiving three or more dots within this tier were:o Resolve "ghost ttain" issue (4 dots)
o Implement records management program/PRA requests (3
dots)

Each Councilmember was also given three orange dots to place on
any items they thought could be prioritized lower. There were
two items receiving three orange dots. Those will be discussed at a
later point with the Council. They were:
¡ Verdugo Street beautification (3 dots)o Del Obispo Street widening (3 dots)
Third Tier: Non-Programmed
This is a list of items for which resources are not currently available.
Generally speaking, these items have been previously discussed by the
Council, but there are insufficient financial or staff resources to move
forward at this time. These items will not be the focus of the City's work
plan over the next year.
An additional item was added to this list, which was: News rack
ordinance.
Each Councilmember was given two blue dots to be placed by
items in either the third or fourth tiers that Councilmembers
would like to see moved up to a higher tier. Some of these items
were discussed but none received more than one dot, indicating
they should not be added to the current work plan
Fourth Tier: New ldeas and Emerging Issues
This list contains several items that are relatively new, along with others
that have been discussed by the Council at some point in time, or are
anticipated to be raised in the coming year.
An additional item was added to this fourth tier, which was
temporary downtown parking (tennis courts). None of the items
in this category received any dots, indicating there was not a
desire to add them to the work plan.

Methods of OptÍmÍzÍng Progress
The facilitator from Management Partners led a discussion on the
importance of focus and discipline to stay the course on priorities. The
purpose of the discussion was to communicate that Council and staff
must work together to optimize the chances for success in making
progress on priorities.
This section of the workshop included:
¡ Methods of Optimizing Progresso Roles and Norms of Council and Staff
: Hffä:ffîï"":,'ä Behavior

progress, roles and norms, and positive civic behavior.
Examples of methods of optimizing progress reviewed with the
participants are as follows:
Stay focused on the agreed upon goals - don't add new things
o Be mindful of staff capacity/timeo Ensure that other work requests (e.9., from board and commissions) do not
inadvertentlv re-prioritize staff time awav from Council priorities
t
Keep a list of possible new ideas for future consideration - but don't pursue them
nowr Review the list during budget process or on at a 6 month progress update¡ lf the Council adds something, be purposeful in explaining that delays will
occur

Small Group Discussions
Working first in small groups and then discussing as a large group, the
Council and executive team discussed three questions:
. What could impede achieving the priorities?. How could Council deal with requests for new tasks?. Would an annual Commission work plan assist in prioritizing
their work?
Summøry of Discussion
Potential impediments to progÌess:
. Unforeseen emergencies or circumstances
r Loss of staff
. Seing unclear about the objective or intended purpose of a
priority¡ Lack of adequate staff time for analysis, preparing reports,
providing sufficient information to Council
o Inadequate timelines set to complete a project
¡ Funding
¡ Inadeeuate communications between Council and staff
o Bringing politics to the daiso Preconceived notions of what the Council should do; special
interests
o Inadequate information by staff about potential consequences of
actions
o Council curfew of 9 pm
o Competing priorities; changing prioritiesr Lengthy oral communications at the beginning of Council
meetings
¡ Lack of finishing agenda items at the Council meetings
¡ Litigation
. Unfunded mandateÐ state actions, outside government agencies
12
Held April 4,2016
Workshop Report Management Pqrtr.etq
Options for dealing with new requests that arise:
¡ Be realistic and manage expectations
o Discussion of any new task could require a discussion of what
could come off the list, or be deferred
. Every agenda item could reference a priority number
r Create a continuing list of new ideas, but don't act on them until
an established point (e.9., next strategic planning)
¡ Have a clear understanding of the scope of work of the new
request¡ Flave a Council discussion with information from the City
Manager on the impact of the new request
. Conduct surveys and community workshops
o Use the commissions
r Be transparent about staff capacity
o Inventory requests for future consideration
o Regular updates
¡ Better explanation of City processes
o Identify other agencies that would be involved
Commission work plan ideas:
¡ Commissions add value, provide good input and expertise and
their ideas are welcome and important
o Determine how the commissions can support the Council's
priorities
¡ Need specific, tangible recommendations from commissions
¡ Council could prioritize the work plan elements for commissions
¡ Council could ask commissions to work on specific things
r The results of the strategic planning priorities should be shared
with commissions
o Problem of using staff capacity on projects identified by a single
commissioner needs to be resolved
o Possible joint meeting of Council and all commissions to discuss
the Council's priorities
