Prepared by: Jordan Foss, Senior Management Analyst
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will receive a status update on the City’s Two-Year Strategic Plan progress

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

DESCRIPTION:
Background
Every two years, the City Council adopts a Strategic Plan comprising the City’s Mission,
Vision, and Values, as well as strategies and objectives which guide the City’s work for the
current two-year period. To accomplish the objectives outlined in the Strategic Plan, the City
Manager identifies work plan items that align with its goals and objectives. The City C ouncil
adopted the latest Two-Year Strategic Plan on April 2, 2024, covering Fiscal Years 2024 -25
and 2025-26.
The City transitioned to the redesigned Strategic Plan Progress Report format in 2025. The
Progress Report details the City Council’s five strategies and 25 objectives along with Staff’s
work plan for achieving each objective (Attachment 1). Each work plan item includes a
description, anticipated fiscal years of activity, assigned department (s), and status. Progress is
tracked throughout the two-year period and items are updated to reflect whether they are
completed, completed/ongoing, in progress, off target, or not started.
Additionally, the City Manager may also assign new work plan tasks as needed. To ensure
24

transparency, existing items are not removed from the progress report; instead, they remain to
reflect the efforts made toward each objective. Any changes to objectives or work plan items
are recorded in the document’s revision history. Below are key highlights from Quarter 2 of
Fiscal Year 2025-26.
Key Highlights: October 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025
Strategy 2: Public Safety
Alameda County Fire Department and Public Works staff completed the installation of
new fire station alerting systems at all three fire stations.
Staff issued a request for qualifications for a functional and physical condition

submitted by 10 consulting firms. Staff are reviewing the qualifications, and a consultant
will be approved by the City Council at a future meeting.
Strategy 3: Housing Inclusivity and Affordability
The Sunflower Hill at Grace Pointe project received its approval from the Planning
Commission on December 9, 2025.
The Affordable Housing Agreement for Francis Ranch was approved July 2024 and is
currently being implemented. The Housing Division worked with the buyers of four
Below Market Rate Units within Francis Ranch during the previous quarter.
Strategy 4: Inclusive and Effective Government
The City Council added an additional $8 million to the Dublin Blvd Extension Advance

received, and the project is near completion. Outreach about the results of the report
will be presented in 2026.
Forest Park opened to the community on Saturday, December 13. This new
neighborhood park was designed to serve residents of all ages and features a multi -use
sports court for basketball and futsal, a pollinator garden, a nature -inspired playground,
and a reservable picnic area for gatherings and community events. A unique tree
adoption program was also introduced, inviting residents to participate in the long-term
