1. Strategic Planning. This element shall include: a comprehensive mission statement as required by Section 3.5 of the San Francisco Administrative Code; a description of the department's major program areas or operational functions; outcome-related goals and objectives for each; and a discussion of how current resource levels and resource levels requested for the coming fiscal year impact the department's ability to achieve stated objectives.

2. Customer Service. This element, which shall satisfy the requirements of Charter Section 16.120, shall include: identification of internal and external customers; defined benchmarks of quality customer service provision; and a discussion of the department's success in meeting stated benchmarks.

Departments are encouraged to conduct town meetings, open houses, or other public forums during the development of the plan to solicit public comments and information.
