CITY OF BENBROOK GOALS

The long-range goals of the City of Benbrook, as revised in 2005 and adopted by the City Council, are:

To protect and enhance neighborhood quality and values;

To improve the efficiency and effectiveness of government services;

To promote economic development;

To promote community appearance and pride; and,

To provide appropriate community facilities.

ACHIEVEMENT OF LONG-RANGE GOALS

To assist in the achievement of these goals, City Council and City Staff identified City-wide objectives, approved
programs in past years, and funded new programs in the 2018-19 Budget. Objectives, strategies, and progress
measures for achievements made towards reaching these goals in past years are provided in detail in the City-Wide
Goals, Objectives, Strategies, and Planning Principles included in the Appendix Section of the 2018-19 Budget

Funds are available in the 2018-19 Budget toward the achievement of these City-wide goals; enhancements toward the
attainment of all five of these goals include: new facilities, personnel enrichments, equipment replacement, existing
facilities modifications and improvements, and streamlined and updated communication. These program additions
and improvements are described along with their potential impact on attainment of goals in current and in future years.

ENHANCED COMMUNICATION – KEY TO ACHIEVEMENT OF ALL GOALS
