Staffing
Reorganization will substantially benefit the
staffing structure and ability to meet needs of City.
Expect to be full steam ahead by end of 2015.
Recommend utilizing internships for added staff
power
i:i City Hall
Need to make some improvements in the near
future
Office structure /safety, carpet, council chamber
improvements
Public Works Department
No dedicated funding exists for our long collector asphalt road maintenance
(ie: Oakdale Drive, Larkin Road, Pioneer Trail)
Would like to adopt a plan to pave both residential and collector roads with
public works involvement to keep costs down
Need to develop a 24/7 work force to handle maintenance on holidays and
weekends (ie: on call person)
❑ Need to ensure enough staffing exists to keep up with upcoming demands
of sewer and water
❑ Balance funding for replacement equipment and new equipment needed
with added requirements to serve the new infrastructure being built
Trail maintenance, water and sewer infrastructure, etc.
Police Department
Challenges:
Continue planning and preparing for growth with new staff and continual changes
(managing our evolution)
Keeping up with traffic safety
Discretionary time is decreasing
Most crashes are high speed with high impact and heavy traffic
Meeting service expectations of new residents in higher density neighborhoods
Scheduling remains challenging
Currently down 1 officer since 2009
1 retirement
1 officer scheduled to be out on medical leave
1 officer scheduled to be out on paternity leave
Training new staff is time, personnel, and labor intensive
Maintaining Police and Fire service levels without full staffing during continued
community growth and increasing service demands
Continued evaluation of what we are realistically able to provide with current
resources
Police Department
High R.O.I. Opportunities:
Engagement at the Hope Center
Officers already have one project in the works
National Night Out /Night to Unite
New neighborhoods will facilitate even better events
Consider a City sponsored site in the future
Personnel movement within the department will allow for new
employee development opportunities
Fresh eyes
New ideas

Programs run by Corcoran Athletic Association (Kevin
Dale) or Corcoran Soccer Association (Robran family)
Both organizations have a limited ability to meet need of
community and are achieving burn out
City does not receive revenue
Intern /seasonal position could run programming and be
budget neutral
The Corcoran "Brand"
Organization has a mission, vision, and values
Perception is reality to most
Residents:
Sleepy rural community, growing community, little services,
would like more amenities
Developers:
Lots of opportunity but needs a ton of investment
Business owners:
Limited infrastructure for growth, similar taxes to
neighboring communities with many more services, need
more rooftops to expand /attract new businesses
