Department Goals
The Department will continue to improve customer service and support services provided to
other City Departments. As a result of the Department's recent strategic planning session, the
top priority identified is to stabilize staffing so that appropriate cross-training, back-up and
coverage of essential tasks can occur. Some specific goals for the upcoming year include:
• Submit to and obtain approval from the State Department of Finance for the Long-
Range Property Management Plan as required by AB 1484 for former properties held by
the Redevelopment Agency.
• Begin review of options available for future replacement of the City's financial system.
• Continue work on a Department Policies & Procedures Manual for all department
functions, including financial, payroll, investments, contracts, utility billing, and business
license functions.
• Maintain part-time staff for a majority of the direct customer interaction at the utility
billing counter and attainment of electronic filing goals for utility, accounts receivable
and business license records.
• Reassign accounts payable duties currently performed by the same employee that does
Citywide personnel, benefits, and payroll.
• Review existing departmental purchasing polices and develop a Citywide Purchasing
policy.
• Transition remaining employees that receive live payroll checks to direct deposit or pay
cards.
• With Council approval, successfully transition the City to a self-funded dental program.
• Transition the City's medical provider from CalPERS to the San Joaquin Valley Insurance
Authority.
• Work with Stakeholders to determine appropriate policy for retiree health coverage and
implementation of policy prior to January 1, 2014.
• Continue work on a central database of all City agreements and contracts; set up regular
monitoring for insurance requirements, reporting, lease payments, etc.
• Complete the transition of Business License records to an OCR document management
system (DocStar); begin the transition for utility records.
• Continue to refine and update the five-year capital improvement plan and incorporate
working capital and capital set aside requirements into every area of the operation; i.e.
CFDs, enterprises, General Fund assets, etc.
• Purchase additional desktop scanners for staff to immediately electronically 'file' utility
account documents, and have the ability to complete filing between customer
interactions.
• Update the City Injury and Illness Prevention Program to ensure continued Cal/OSHA
compliance, and commitment to a safe workplace.
• Continue to improve the City website, including the quality and quantity of content, to
encourage more use by residents and other stakeholders.
