Staff Report
Origin
On April 27, 2009 Council approved a number of term goals to help guide the development and implementation of the City's work programs during this term of office. These goals are referenced at the beginning of all staff reports, to help keep Council apprised of how each report relates to their term goals. With this term of Council moving into its final phase, this report summarizes the progress made on Council Term Goals to date, for Council's information.
Analysis
Council approved the following term goals, with related objectives for the 2008-2011 term of Council: '
I. Ensure Richmond remains a safe and desirable community to live, work and play in through an interdisciplinary approach to community safety and a term strategy.
2. Ensure the City has the capacity to meet the financial challenges of today and in the future, while maintaining appropriate levels of service.
3. Ensure effective growth management for the City. 4. Improve the effectiveness of the delivery of social services in the City through the
development and implementation of a Social and Community Service Strategy. 5. Advance the City'S destination status and ensure our continued development as a vibrant
cultural city with well established festivals and the alis. 6. Improve City transportation and mobility elements. 7. Demonstrate leadership in and significant advancement of the City's agenda for
sustainability through the development and implementation of a comprehensive strategy. 8. Effectively manage local economic development issues and opportunities through the
creation of clearly articulated economic development objectives for this term of office. 9. The City will have a stable, effective, and knowledgeable workforce to serve Council and
the community now and in the future. '
The 2008-2011 term of Council has been a challenging and unprecedented period in the City's history. With significant economic pressures, the once in a life time 2010 Olympic Winter. Games experience, and the need to strive for business as usual to our customers during these times, Council faced many complex and difficult decisions during this term. In spite of these challenges, Council has, through the setting and pursuit of their term goals, successfully advanced the City towards its vision of being the most appealing, livable and well managed community in Canada in a balanced and focused fashion. Much progress has been made on Council's goals since their adoption. Attachment 1 details the activities and accomplishments to date with respect to each of these goals, for Council's information. As well, a brochure highlighting key accomplishments and achievements has been prepared and attached for Council's reference (Attachment 2).

Financial Impact

Conclusion
Council Term Goals are set at the beginning of each new term of Council, to help guide and focus the workplans of City staff. As the current Council Term nears completion, this report has been prepared to provide Council with information on the advancement of their term goals since their approval. Much work and progress has been made on these goals, during extraordinary times in the City's history. This report serves to highlight the accomplishments and achievements for this term with respect to Council's Term Goals, illustrating a balanced, focussed and productive term of office. While these goals continue to guide staff efforts, New Council Tcrm Goals will be set early in 2012 for the new term of Council.
A summary brochure of Council 's accomplishments for this term is attached for Council's information.
