Governance

The Governance Element is about good government and outstanding customer service. It establishes policies that help ensure open, fair and informed decision-making. It also guides how City staff 1) communicates internally and with the public and with business, 2) allocates resources, and 3) how it follows adopted policies to make decisions. Elected and appointed City leaders, citizens, business people, investors and staff will use this Element to understand how citizens help shape policies and decisions that affect them. This Element also integrates the City’s Mission Statement,Vision and Strategic Plan, Centennial General Plan, Specific Plans and Master Plans* into a consistent planning, budgeting and implementation framework. This procedural framework will be applied to everyday City operations and actions with long-range implications. This will, in turn, help foster a predictable and transparent system of governance that will benefit the community, San Clemente’s economy and quality-of-life through responsive and high-quality delivery of municipal services.

Primary Goal:

To be a City that achieves its General Plan implementation measures and is guided by a clear system of decision-making policies and procedures.

Goal and Policy Sections:

  1. System for Governance and Management
  2. Municipal Finance
  3. Communication
  4. Implementation of the Centennial General Plan
  5. Implementation Measures
