CITY OF ROCHESTER 2022-2023 ACTION PLAN - ADOPTED BY CITY COUNCIL ON 12/06/21 3
- Public Safety
- Social Equity
- Compassion
QUARTER 1 2022 UPDATE
The City adopted its first ever citywide Action Plan in the fall of
2021. The Quarter 1 update is the result of a lot of hard work and
collaboration across the City. Some examples include:
• The creation of the Data and Evidence Based Decision Making
Impact Team.
• RPU’s 10 megawatt solar farm project.
• Every department creating specific DEI Action Plans.
• The group effort between RPL and Parks and Recreation for
BookBike programming.
These examples are illustrative that progress toward our goals is
taking place throughout the City.
While this is the first quarter report, many of our Key Performance
Indicators (KPIs) are still pending results or we are collecting and
defining benchmarks for which we can utilize going forward. Notably,
the Rochester National Community Survey data will be available in
quarter 2 and the Rochester Teammate Engagement Survey will also
kick off in quarter 2.
Kudos to all the City teammates for your dedication and efforts
as we strive toward the City’s strategic goals: Affordable Living,
Quality Services for Quality Living, and Economic Vibrancy and Growth
Management. Forward together!

CITY OF ROCHESTER 2022-2023 ACTION PLAN - ADOPTED BY CITY COUNCIL ON 12/06/214
For each Strategic Priority, the Council has provided areas of focus
that can help define the City’s role in carrying out these strategic
priorities, either alone or with partners. These areas of focus, which
are in bullet points below each priority, do not necessarily represent
a financial commitment; they may also be an area of city regulation
such as zoning and land use, or an opportunity for the city to provide
legislative support in helping to implement the strategy, such as a
major infrastructure project. For purposes of this work, the Council has
defined strategies as:
• Define long-term goals
• Include plans for how to achieve them
• Fit into the organization’s mission and vision
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES BACKGROUND
ACTION PLAN BACKGROUND
The Council has also provided guidance and context for staff to
develop an Action Plan that implements the strategy priorities. These
are highlighted in the boxes below each strategy. For purposes of this
work, the Council has defined tactics as:
• More concrete and specific
• Oriented toward smaller steps
• Have a shorter time frame
• Include things like high performance organization, best practices,
specific plans and budgets
Following the City Council’s adoption of the Strategic Priorities in
June 2021, City Teammates began to develop their department
Action Plans. Each department selected representative(s) to be
on the Action Plan team. The representative were focused on the
process and communication, with Action Plan development taking
place at the Departmental Impact Team Level. A City wide teammate
survey was distributed, providing teammates the opportunity to
share their thoughts on goals and tactics for each Strategic Priority.
Responses were reviewed by the Action Plan team and Impact Team for
incorporation into the department Action Plans.
