Also, what do our residents and businesses think about how we are meeting their needs, as a score with qualitative comments? How are we protecting our citizens and businesses?” Among the primary objectives outlined in the initial work plan draft, the City wants to step up its virtual capabilities via online services and public access to information. This will include creating a new website with mobile app functions, developing an Intranet for staff, offering online business transactions for all customers, providing a user-friendly digital file cabinet for the public to access online, and developing mapping software displaying basic property information and relevant documents. Councilmember Carol Pirsztuk noted that while getting to the next level in the virtual world is a critical component, the City will still also need to provide high-level, in-person service to those (e.g. a portion of the senior population) who don’t use computers or smartphones. Steps to make services more convenient, efficient and user-friendly for residents and businesses could include enhancing teleconference capacity, increasing library hours, upgrading public Internet stations, and enhancing the library catalog to search multiple sources at once. On the safety side, the City will look to be proactive in regards to risk and crime through local police and fire assessments and upgrades, and engage the community so that perceptions of safety align with reality (e.g. providing owners with more information to retrofit buildings for future earthquakes), while also remaining fiscally responsible by analyzing equipment usage. Future goals include improving response times for fire and paramedic calls, as well as getting back to customers within 24 hours (or on the same day) on any inquiries or complaints. To make gains as a choice employer and workforce, the City plans to boost its training and development program, create a succession plan to fill vacancies from within, keep departments as close to full staffing as possible, and maintain an “inspired, engaged workforce” by promoting wellness and morale and also implementing a formal employee recognition program. Boyles noted that many organizations are being measured online by applicants, current and past employees. “El Segundo needs to start by reaching internally to understand what our employees think of us as an employer,” he said. Infrastructure investment would likely include a citywide needs assessment and a game plan for routine maintenance and repairs as well as tree-trimming and park equipment/fixture replacement. The Council also saw a sizable list of capital improvement projects earmarked for the next five years. Nearly $20 million is not funded as of yet. The list did identify a number of other items that can be paid for through grants, developer monies or enterprise funds such as water and sewer. Boyles questioned the inclusion of “optimizing technology” as one of the primary objectives — not because it isn’t a major priority but since he views it as a “means to an end” that helps the City reach other plateaus rather than a goal unto itself. That said, under the technology umbrella the work plan calls for “an effective structure for integrated focus on the technology needs of the city;” investment in upgraded software, equipment and systems; and optimization of existing systems to “improve departmental synergies” and maximize efficiencies. Last month’s meeting was the third strategic planning session of the year on the heels of two previous gatherings in the summer. Management consultant Sara Peterson once again served as moderator. In past years, so-called strategic planning meetings did not expand beyond the “right now” because the City Council struggled to simply balance the budget during trying economic times. But with predicted surpluses for years to come thanks in part to the passage of the transient occupancy tax increase as well as upticks in other revenues, the City now has the ability to consider the big picture. For the work plan with each proposed activity, staff identified the responsible party, the resources required, and projected milestones for implementation over the next three years. The document will come back before the Council on December 20 for final revisions and adoption. However as Councilmember Mike Dugan noted, he and his colleagues are there to essentially set policy. It will be up to the department heads and City staff to move forward with the actual tactical activities. •
