The Strategic Plan sets the path for the City of El Segundo for the next four
years, covering the period FY 2022-23 through FY 2025-26.
It builds upon our previous Strategic Plan which the City Council updated in
2020. Much has happened since then, including a pandemic, changes in the
economy, a tight labor market, new state mandates, rising housing costs, and
more.
Our strategic planning began with each member of City Council being interviewed
to learn about their priorities; a gap analysis conducted with City departments;
an environmental scan prepared by City staff; input from the City's committees,
commissions, and boards, and a City Council workshop conducted on April 12,
2022.
Our Strategic Plan is focused on achieving our vision, which is:
Be a global innovation leader 'where big ideas take off' while maintaining our
unique small-town character.
The Strategic Plan has five multi -year goals:
• Enhance customer service, diversity, equity, inclusion and communication.
Support community safety and preparedness .
+ Promote a quality workforce through teamwork and organizational
efficiencies.
M Develop and maintain quality infrastructure and technology
Champion economic development and fiscal sustainability.
Our work relies on collaboration with others, and we are dedicated to being
good partners and service providers.
Success of the City of El Segundo will always rely on a team effort.
Respectfully,
