LL Cityof CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION Louisville AGENDA ITEM 2 COLORADO • SINCE 1878 SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF 2022 CITY COUNCIL WORK PLAN DATE: FEBRUARY 22, 2022 PRESENTED BY: JEFF DURBIN, CITY MANAGER MEGAN DAVIS, DEPUTY CITY MANAGER SUMMARY: On December 14, 2021, City Council conducted the first phase of its annual work planning at a special meeting, with a second follow up meeting planned for January 11, 2022. The Marshall Fire on December 30, 2021 delayed the work planning discussion and resulted in the need for City staff and Council to revisit the proposed priorities for 2022. This work planning session will be facilitated by June Ramos, with J Ramos Associates, LLC, and will provide City Council with an opportunity to determine what Council priorities, in addition to Marshall Fire recovery work, they would like to pursue in 2022. PROPOSED WORK PLAN CHANGES: The end -goal of the work planning sessions is to finalize a realistic work plan for 2022 that reflects Council's priorities on issues that require Council policy direction or guidance. The work plan includes issues that City Council plans to address throughout the course of the year, the approximate meeting time Council will devote to each issue, and a rough schedule (by quarter) when Council will consider each issue. The Council work plan helps staff prioritize internal work plans and schedule the work that is needed to bring to Council for engagement. In addition, the work plan helps the public understand the key issues that City Council will focus on in the coming year. The Council work plan is typically limited to those activities that Council can realistically accomplish in one year, and which can be completed within staff time available and budgetary resources. In 2021, 19 items were included on the work plan (not including Annual/Recurring items), with 5 prioritized as high, 10 prioritized as medium, and 4 prioritized as low. Generally, staff will focus on the high and medium ranked items and as time and resources are available, work on the low ranked items. Attached for reference is a 2021 Work Plan status report with a brief update on each 2021 Work Plan item. At this stage in the process, City Council would typically review and discuss all the carryforward and ongoing items as well as the newly identified initiatives, and reduce those to a realistic work plan for the coming year. Staff has drafted a proposal for the 2022 work plan (attachment 2), based on Council recommendations for items that should be delayed or deferred and the addition of fire recovery efforts requiring Council direction. These recommendations are based primarily on the redirection of staff resources to address Marshall Fire recovery efforts, and a realistic assessment of what CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION 1
