One City, One Future

Focused action for a better Sacramento

About

One City, One Future is how the City of Sacramento connects its priorities, its plans, and its results so residents can see what we are working on, why it matters, and whether we are making progress.

The Plan

Sacramento is setting clear priorities and advancing them through strategic initiatives.

The workplan turns those priorities into action

The Priorities Strategic Workplan names a vision for each priority, the focus areas that organize the effort, the objectives departments are committing to, and the specific initiatives now underway. It answers a simple question: what are we doing, and why does it matter?

 

The framework at a glance:

3 Council Priorities · 10 Focus Areas · 13 Objectives

31 Strategic Initiatives · 8 pilot departments · 2-year implementation

How it works

One plan. Three connected parts.

  • The What: Council Priorities

    In September 2025, the City Council set three priorities: Economic Development, Public Safety, and Homelessness—guiding the City's work ahead.

  • The How: Priorities Strategic Workplan

    The Strategic Workplan turns those priorities into action: vision, focus areas, objectives, and initiatives—what we're doing and why it matters.

  • The Proof: SacramentoSTAT

    SacramentoSTAT is how the City tracks progress: leaders review data with the City Manager, and results are published here for residents.

The framework you see here is the first phase

It names the direction, the commitments, and the work. What it does not yet include is the measurement layer — the targets and data that will tell you whether these initiatives are working.

 

That layer is being built with departments right now. A performance system only delivers if the people responsible for it understand it, believe in it, and have the tools to use it. Building that takes time, training, and trust.
