SUBJECT: 2022 CITY COUNCIL WORK PLANNING DATE: DECEMBER 14, 2021 PAGE 2 OF 3 The 2022 Work Plan draft (Attachment 3) is organized into three categories: Carry Forward/Ongoing; New Initiatives; and Annual/Recurring. There are 43 items listed under the Carry Forward/Ongoing or New Initiatives categories. The Annual/Recurring items are typically not part of the prioritization effort and are included so that Council has a more complete picture of all initiatives they will need to work on and fit within the limits of the 2022 Council meeting schedule. The Council work plan includes: • Issues that require City Council policy direction. • Issues that require Council consideration or action, per the Charter. • Routine items that require City Council action (land use items, fees/fines, etc.). • Items/projects that are already budgeted for in 2022 but that require Council input or action. The work plan should not include: • Day to day operational items. • Items that require City Council approval on consent, or simple approval without discussion (e.g. routine contracts). • Items that require staff or City Council capacity beyond what's feasible within the year. This review of the 2022 Work Plan draft should accomplish the following: • Gain additional understanding of potential work plan items. • Request any additional information or analysis for the January 11 work session. • Remove any potential work plan items Council does not want to consider on January 11. • Add any potential work plan items for consideration on January 11. The initial draft of the 2022 Work Plan incorporates potential items that the Mayor and staff have collected over the last year and includes Department Director input. The draft 2022 Work Plan also includes an initial estimate of the number of Council meetings, staff workload impact and quarter in 2022 when Council may work on the item. These are only initial estimates for each work plan item and will be finalized at the January 11 work planning session. The work plan also identifies items that may need additional funding to implement beyond the currently adopted budget. In between this meeting and the January 11 meeting, staff will send an online survey to Councilmembers to get preliminary feedback and prioritization on the potential work plan items. Based on the feedback at this meeting and the survey, staff will refine the estimates of Council time necessary to address each issue and optimal time for consideration. Staff will provide a recommendation for prioritization and the type of Council communication or discussion necessary for each item. CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION K,
