SUBJECT: <br />CITY COUNCIL WORK PLAN <br />DATE: <br />MAY 27, 2025 <br />PAGE3OF4 <br />feel the current draft encapsulates the current request for consideration from a high-level <br />perspective. Formal adoption of the memo and/or revisions will be shared with City <br />Council after the RAB June meeting. Approval of this item being on the 2026 Work Plan <br />may require professional services funding that is not currently in the 2025-2026 budget. <br />At the time of drafting, staff were not aware of any other Board or Commission working on <br />a memo for City Council regarding the 2026 Council Work Plan. <br />2026 Council Work Plan <br />For this meeting, staff will provide an update on the 2025 Council Work Plan and then <br />open for discussion on 2026 Council Work Plan Priorities. Many of the 2025 items <br />continue into 2026, and it is staff's recommendation that Council consider using the 2025 <br />priorities and lenses as a starting point for the 2026 discussion. <br />The goal of the meeting is to establish a set of 2026 Council Work Plan priorities that <br />council is supportive of moving forward with and utilizing through the budget discussion. <br />To help frame these priorities, staff recommends council share problems they are looking <br />to address or opportunities for each, as well as what success looks like. For example, <br />council may identify Fiscal Sustainability as a priority area and identify that the Historic <br />Preservation Tax sunsets in 2028 as an opportunity. In order to provide staff enough <br />direction to follow up with drafting the details of the work plan, council should also identify <br />what successfully addressing that opportunity looks like. <br />These priorities and lenses will be utilized throughout the budget conversation and staff <br />will utilize all the information provided to apply programs and tasks to each priority area, <br />in -line with the council expectations for the items. The draft work plan will then be brought <br />forward to council for review, discussion, and revision as necessary until it meets council's <br />expectations and is ready for adoption. <br />It is important to remember through this process, council work plans are a reflection of City <br />Council's priorities for one year and do not reflect every priority of the City. Council work <br />plans reflect policy priority areas where City Council plans to provide direction and take <br />action within a year. These priorities should be framed in the context of the Louisville <br />Charter, Code of Ordinances, Comprehensive Plan, 2024 Community Survey, prior work <br />plans, the budget, and other strategic and planning documents. <br />2025 COUNCIL WORK PLAN: <br />N/A - This item provides an update to the 2025 Council Work Plan and is the initial 2026 <br />Council Work Plan Discussion. <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />
