City of Clearwater
Strategic Direction Action Plan for FY 2019-20
Introduction
City Council Policy “12-3” states:
“Prior to June 1st of each year and prior to the development of the City Manager’s proposed
budget, the City Council shall meet in a strategic planning session(s) to review the five-year
financial forecast and update as necessary, the City’s Vision, Mission and Strategic Direction
(Goals). From these documents a five-year strategic plan will be updated.”
This report and all the accompanying materials are provided in support of Council’s
review of the Strategic Direction pursuant to the above policy.
I.City’s Vision and Mission Statements:
In 2013, City Council established a Strategic Direction, providing a Mission and Vision
along with supporting Goals and Objectives, as derived from input from stakeholders
and community analysis. In the years since, the City has conducted Citizen Satisfaction
Surveys to gauge community satisfaction with our services, functions and projects.
For purposes of City Council Policy “12-3,” the following statements may be updated.
P a g e | 2
II.Objectives
Implementation of the Strategic Direction involves defined, on-going planning and
resource commitments. The strategic implementation process is not static, as we are
routinely working on programs and services that build upon strategic direction
priorities across various City operations.
A. On-Going Strategic Actions
Staff continues to depend upon various plans and documents that align on-going work
with the Strategic Direction.

B.Strategic Objectives
As reflected in the Strategic Direction presentation we use in the budget, each goal
within the Mission Statement is broken into four objectives with specific priorities listed
for each. Below, we have deconstructed the overall Strategic Direction into those eight

objectives. City Council may update or supplement these, as deemed appropriate.

C.Strategic Actions Schedule
Collectively, staff understands many initiatives and projects to comprise City Council’s
Strategic Plan. However, these priorities are listed in addition to the on-going repair,
maintenance and replacement of equipment, facilities and properties that support day-
to-day operations and infrastructure. The Focus Items listed are in addition to day-to-
day operations, services and programming throughout the City. They are identified
because of the priority they have in the coming year or because they are generally not
expected to recur over a minimum, five-year planning horizon unless otherwise noted
by an asterisk, in which instance they are on-going initiatives or have components that
will continue through the planning period.
Focus Items for 2019-2020:
Fire Stations 46 and 47 Replacements

•PLACE JOBS ONTO SALARY SCHEDULE BASED ON MARKET
•ESTABLISH “BENCHMARK” POSITIONS TO PLACE JOBS ONTO SALARY SCHEDULE
BASED ON INTERNAL EQUITY
•CURRENT DRAFT HAS NO SALARY RANGE MAXIMUMS DECREASING
IMPLEMENTATION STEPS
MOVE EMPLOYEES TO MINIMUM OF NEW RANGES
•MOVING TO THE MINIMUM OF THE NEW RANGES IS
CONSIDERED THE LEAST AGGRESSIVE SOLUTION
•THIS CAUSES COMPRESSION AT THE HIRING RATE
•ALL COSTS ARE IN ADDITION TO THE COST TO MOVE TO
MINIMUM
IMPLEMENTATION STEPS
MOVE EMPLOYEES TO MIDPOINT WITHIN 10 YEARS
•MOVING EMPLOYEES TO MIDPOINT WITHIN 10 YEARS IS AN
AGGRESSIVE RAMP TO GET EMPLOYEES INTO THE CITY AND KEEP
THEM
•THIS AVOIDS COMPRESSION AND REWARDS EMPLOYEES FOR THEIR
TIME IN THE POSITION
•ONCE EMPLOYEES REACH MIDPOINT, THEY ARE SLOWED DOWN TO
AVOID EMPLOYEES REACHING THE MAXIMUM TOO SOON
IMPLEMENTATION STEPS
•THIS OPTION CONTROLS COSTS AND AVOIDS OVERSPENDING ON
EMPLOYEES IN HIGHER PAYING POSITIONS
•A CAP WAS PLACED ON EMPLOYEES WHO WILL EARN MORE THAN $65K OR
WERE IN POSITIONS ADJUSTED LESS THAN 8%
•EMPLOYEES EARNING LESS THAN $65K AND WHO’S POSITIONS MOVED
MORE THAN 8% AS A RESULT OF THE MARKET STUDY, ARE NOT CAPPED

FINAL THOUGHTS
•ANY OPTION CAN BE ADAPTED TO FIT BUDGET, POLICY AND POLITICAL REALITIES OF AN
ORGANIZATION
•FOR EXAMPLE, IT’S COMMON FOR HIGH EARNING EMPLOYEES TO RECEIVE LESS THAN LOWER
EARNING EMPLOYEES
•IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES CAN BE CREATED TO ADDRESS VERTICAL COMPRESSION BETWEEN
EMPLOYEES AND SUPERVISORS
•SALARY SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE
•SPEND YOUR MONEY ON YOUR EMPLOYEES AND NOT ON CONSULTANTS –WE HAVE 1 YEAR OF
FREE IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORT (ENDS IN FALL OF 2021)
•CALL YOUR MARKET COMPARATORS EACH YEAR AND ASK 2 QUESTIONS:
•HOW MUCH ARE YOU INCREASING YOUR SALARY SCHEDULE BY
•HOW MUCH ARE YOU MOVING YOUR PEOPLE THROUGH THEIR RANGES
•MOVE YOUR PEOPLE FASTER THAN YOUR RANGE OR EMPLOYEES WILL NEVER REACH MIDPOINT OR
