SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL WORK PLANNING DATE: DECEMBER 12, 2022 PAGE 2 OF 4 Generally, staff will focus on the high and medium ranked items and as time and resources are available, work on the lower ranked items. Attached for reference is a 2022 Work Plan status report with a brief update on each 2022 Work Plan item (Attachment 2). The Council work plan includes: • Issues that require City Council discussion and 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 2023 but that require Council input or action. The work plan should not include: • Day to day organizational and 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. The initial work planning session should accomplish the following: • Gain additional understanding of potential work plan items. • Request any additional information or analysis for the Jan.17 work session. • Remove or add any potential work plan items for prioritization on Jan. 17. • Add any potential work plan items for consideration on Jan. 17. The 2023 Work Plan draft (Attachment 3) is organized into four categories: Carry Forward/Ongoing; New Items; Council Proposed Items; and Annual/Recurring. There are 30 items listed under the Carry Forward/Ongoing, New Initiatives, and Council Proposed categories. The Annual/Recurring items have not been a part of the prioritization effort in the past, since they are less predictable. However, they are included so that Council has a more complete picture of everything they may need to work on and fit within the time limitations of the 2023 Council meeting schedule. The initial draft of the 2023 Work Plan incorporates potential items that have been raised by Council over the past year and Department Director input. In addition, the attached draft includes the items submitted by each Councilmember for consideration. Staff provided a supplemental report including recommendations provided by the Advisory Boards and Commissions, as well as the list of work plan recommendations from last year that did not make the final work plan. The draft 2023 Work Plan reflects initial estimate of the number of Council meetings, staff workload impact, and quarter in 2023 when Council may work on the item. These are only initial estimates for each work plan item and will be finalized at the Jan. 17 work CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION 3
