As a blueprint for the City's future, the Strategic Business Plan defines the Irvine City Council's goals and evaluates the City's financial capacity to achieve them. Each year, the City Council reviews the Strategic Business Plan and sets funding priorities for the coming fiscal year using the financial projections contained within the Strategic Business Plan. When funds are not available to fulfill every goal, priority services are funded first. The City Council's priorities are 1. A clean and well-maintained environment 2. A safe community 3. Economic prosperity and a livable community 4. Effective government
