2026-28 Council Strategic Priorities Session
Final Report
Introduction
The City Council of Dublin holds a bi-annual Strategic Planning Session to provide direction to staff
on priorities for the coming two years, and to hear from the public on their interests. The process
ensures that Council and staff are aligned on where time and resources should be focused. The 2026-
28 session was held on March 6 in the Bray Community Room of the Civic Center, with all five
Councilmembers in attendance.
City Manager Colleen Tribby, City Attorney John Bakker, and key management staff were present at
the meeting, which was facilitated by Dan Rich from the Renne Public Management Group (RPMG).
Ultimately, a plan with eight major priorities and 33 objectives was endorsed by the Council
and is attached as Exhibit A to this report. The slides from the day are also attached as Exhibit B. A
summary of the session follows.
Background
Planning for the session began long before the actual meeting in March. The effort started in
December with the hiring of RMPG, followed by Dan Rich’s appointment as Facilitator for the
process. The project kicked off with the facilitator/consultant getting an overview from the City
Manager and then conducting one-on-one meetings with each member of the Council in January and
early February to assess the current cycle and then discuss their priorities for the upcoming two-year
cycle. After providing notes and summarizing key takeaways of these meetings with the City Manager,
staff went through a thoughtful process to determine the proposed Strategic Priorities and specific
Objectives to support them.
At the March 6 session, staff presented a recommended two-year Plan with 26 specific Objectives,
categorized in the following 7 major Strategic Priorities:
· Public Safety, Health and Welfare
· Fiscal Stability
· Smart City
· Housing Affordability
· City Infrastructure
· Downtown Dublin
· Fallon East Economic Development Zone
The following is the agenda for the Strategic Priorities Session, which was called to order by the Vice
Mayor just after 1:00 PM.

Council did not make any changes to the suggested Ground Rules.
The consultant then presented “Guiding Principles” to the Council, designed to acknowledge the
importance of prioritizing goals, ensure clarity of roles, and focus staff work on the Council’s priorities.
Council adopted the following without making any changes:
1. If everything is a priority, nothing is a priority
2. The bulk of staff ’s time is spent on day-to-day operations; there is limited capacity for new
special projects.
3. A limited number of Strategic Priorities and Objectives help focus attention and resources
4. Make a plan and stick with it (two-step process for changes)
Check-Ins
The Facilitator asked Council to confirm or tweak their foundational documents: Mission, Vision,
Values and Norms. The City Manager then suggested a slight change to the Council meeting agenda.
Mission
On the mission, no changes were made so it remains:
The City of Dublin promotes and supports a high quality of life, ensures a safe, secure and sustainable
environment, fosters new opportunities, and champions a culture of equity, diversity and inclusion.
145

Vision
After some discussion, no changes were made, so it continues to read:
Dublin is a great community to live, work, and raise a family.
Values
The Council was generally comfortable with the 11 values but wanted one change, as noted below in
red.
· Business – We will provide a full spectrum of opportunity by supporting current and
prospective businesses through ongoing economic development efforts and helping them
grow and thrive locally.
· Customer Service – We will provide welcoming, excellent customer services to our
residents and businesses at all times.
· Diversity – We will support a wide range of programs and events that reflect and cater to
the diversity of our residents.
· Environmental Sustainability – We will continue to lead in building a well-planned
sustainable community and protecting our natural resources.
· Equity – We will deliver our services in a way that ensures equitable access to all.
· Finances – We will strive to be fiscally transparent and balance our budgets annually.
· History – We will honor our history through places and programs that remind people of
our beginnings.
· Inclusivity – We will advocate for programs and policies that support inclusive and
affordable access to housing and cultural opportunities.
· Innovation – We will continue to innovate in every aspect of government and promote
innovation within the business community.
· Living an Active Lifestyle – We will continuously promote an active lifestyle through our
parks and facilities and encourage participation in local sports.

Norms
The Council Norms, updated in early 2025, were further modified as noted:
1. We trust each other.
2. We show respect and fairness to each other.
3. We lead by positive example.
146

4. We respect the different roles of Council and staff.
5. We will come attend and be prepared to for Council meetings, having read the staff report prior

6. We communicate well and practice active listening with each other.

research or communication.

9. We make decisions based on principles and values.
10. We advocate for our decisions and communicate our reasoning.
11. We accept the majority position once a decision is made and will support it moving forward
without disparaging those who disagree with your position.
Council Agenda
Currently, “City Manager and City Council Reports” are #9 on the agenda. The City Manager
suggested to move up “City Manager Report” to after Public Comments as a new #5. This would
provide for a more timely update and the possibility of responding to issues raised during Public
Comments, if appropriate. Council Reports would remain later in the agenda after New Business.
After some dialogue, the Council agreed with the change if the City Manager wanted to move forward
with it.
Public comments at the session were solicited for this portion of the day’s agenda, as well as after each
of the agendized items.
Review of the 2024-26 Strategic Goals & Accomplishments
In 2024, the following five areas were identified as Strategic Goals:
✓ Economic Development, Small Business Support, and Downtown Dublin
✓ Public Safety
✓ Housing Inclusivity and Affordability
✓ Inclusive and Effective Government
✓ Long-Term Infrastructure and Sustainability
Parking Lot
During the course of the afternoon, the Council brought up the following issues to be
addressed later in the meeting or at another time:
· Provide (and/or post on the web) high resolution maps of Council districts
· Evaluate the impact of more frequent applications and/or expanding Inside Dublin,
including having high school students
· Consider creating a Financial Task Force if and when appropriate in the future

The consultant shared feedback on the many accomplishments he heard Council articulate during the
interviews, the City Manager then shared staff’s perspective on the major achievements in each
strategic goal, and the Council verbally shared more items they were proud of.
Budget and CIP Preview
After a Public Comments section, staff presented a preview of the City’s FY 2026-27 General Fund
revenue, expenditures, and reserves. A look at the 10 year forecast shows a surplus of $12.7 million
for next year but an anticipated deficit projected in FY 30-31. After Council questions, a preview of
the capital improvement program (CIP) was presented. Updates were provided on current and
planned capital projects as well as potential new funding sources for projects. Staff answered a number
of questions from Council about current and proposed projects.
The budget and CIP slides that were presented by staff can be found in Exhibit B.
2024-26 Strategic Goals
After a short “stretch break,” the Council began discussion on the Strategic Priorities and Objectives
for the next two years. During the pre-meeting interviews with Councilmembers, the consultant
learned there was general satisfaction with the 2024-26 Goals. Key themes that came out of the
interviews included:
· Safety: e-bike/scooter/pedestrian issues; community engagement
· Technology roadmap/master plan; use of AI
· Long-term financial planning/sustainability
· Health, well-being of community and support to diverse needs
Based on this information, the City Manager, in discussion with staff, proposed the following seven
items as the 2026-28 Strategic Priorities:
Council Dialogue
The next section of the workshop focused on reviewing and discussing not only the proposed Strategic
Priorities but also the 26 suggested Objectives to implement them. The consultant led a process to
hear what resonated with the Council and allow them to consider possible deletions or additions to
the proposed Priorities and Objectives.
Changes to staff’s original proposal (shown with strikeout for deletions and red for additions) for the
Strategic Priorities and Objectives follow. The Council added one new Priority (Enhanced
