City Mission Statement
Albany is committed to providing a healthy, safe, and accessible city, and strives to lift every voice in our community.
Overview
The purpose of the City Council Strategic Plan is to identify key issues, develop City Council direction, establish priorities, and set goals and objectives to best focus changes to the use of the City’s limited resources and capacity over the course of the 2- year plan period. The mandated obligations of local government remain the core function of the City and need not be fully detailed in the Strategic Plan, including but not limited to: public infrastructure, public safety, governmental transparency, financial accountability, and implementation of regulations. This balance between core services and strategic plan goals is well depicted by the “Iceberg Model”.
To ensure effective implementation, the City Council and community will review progress toward objectives annually and will adjust the workplan and objectives as needed.
Guiding City Plans
The City’s Climate Action & Adaptation Plan serves as an instructional plan that identifies programs and projects that are intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as well as measures to adapt to climate change impacts.
Guiding City Plans
The City’s Housing Element portion of the City’s General Plan is intended to further both housing quantity and quality for all members of the community. The City’s San Pablo Avenue Specific Plan also details opportunities to increase housing and quality living space along San Pablo Avenue.
