RESOLUTION NO. 2005-129
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA APPROVING THE GENERAL SERVICES
DEPARTMENT STRATEGIC PLAN
WHEREAS, the General Services Department has been in the process of developing a
departmental strategic plan. The purpose of the plan is to develop a five-year business plan for
the department, establish benchmarks by which to assess departmental performance, and identify
issues and challenges facing the department; and
WHEREAS, the General Services Department was created approximately two years ago.
The initial role of the Department was to manage the City's Building and Park Construction
activities; and
WHEREAS, the construction, repair, custodial, and facility management functions were
transferred from the Public Works Department to the General Services Department; and
WHEREAS, with the separation of the Engineering Division ITOm General Services, the
General Services Department will be more focused on the day-to-day operation and management
of city facilities, the actual design and construction of new and renovated city facilities, and the
maintenance of the City's building stock; and
WHEREAS, this will allow the Department to develop a clearer focus of its mission and
will position the Department in a role more consistent with the traditional role of a General
Services Department in local government; and
WHEREAS, the City's solid waste, recycling and conservation activities would be better
situated in the General Services Department as opposed to their current placement within the
Administration Department. These functions parallel the other operational functions of the
General Services Department, and in the case of the solid waste/recycling function, would be
located at the Public Works Center where much of their effort is now focused; and
WHEREAS, staff determined that day-to-day management of the Animal Care Facility
would be more effectively performed by the General Services Department; and
WHEREAS, the City's Communication functions (i.e. the management of
communication issues between facilities such as Police, Fire and Public Works, etc.) would also
be moved into the General Services Department. This is a logical move given that the
Communications Unit, currently residing in the Public Works Operations Department serves
multiple departments, as does the rest of the General Services Department.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of ChuIa
Vista does hereby approve the General Services Department Strategic Plan.
