Subject: FY 2025-2028 Citywide Strategic Plan Six-Month Update From: Office Of The City Administrator Recommendation: Receive An Informational Report From The City Administrator On The FY 2025-2028 Citywide Strategic Plan Six-Month Update

This report provides a six-month update on the implementation of Oakland's FY 2025-2028 Citywide Strategic Plan. The plan, developed in response to fiscal challenges and operational needs, focuses on five strategic priorities: streamlining operations, fostering cross-departmental collaboration, enhancing communication and coordination, optimizing workforce management, and aligning the budget with citywide priorities. The initial six months have concentrated on foundational work, including establishing cross-departmental teams, identifying operational barriers, and aligning budget practices. The plan is now moving into a measurable execution phase with future work focused on pilot efforts and establishing performance measures. The City Administrator's office, in conjunction with consultants Be Present Consult, LLC, has overseen this process.

Residents can expect improved city services and operations as the city implements its strategic plan. This update indicates a focus on efficiency, collaboration, and better alignment of city resources with community needs, though specific impacts will become clearer as implementation progresses.
