LL Cityof CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION Louisville AGENDA ITEM 2 COLORADO • SINCE 1878 SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL ANNUAL WORK PLANNING — SESSION DATE: DECEMBER 12, 2022 PRESENTED BY: JEFF DURBIN, CITY MANAGER MEGAN DAVIS, DEPUTY CITY MANAGER EMILY HOGAN, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER SUMMARY: City Council will conduct the first phase of its annual work planning on December 12, 2022, with a second follow-up meeting to be held on January 17, 2023. The goal of the work planning sessions is to finalize a realistic work plan for 2023 that reflects Council's priorities on issues that require Council policy direction or action. The work plan will include 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 align staff's internal work plans with Council engagement. In addition, the work plan helps the public understand the key issues that City Council will focus on in the coming year. The work planning sessions will be facilitated by June Ramos, with J Ramos Associates, LLC. The first meeting will include an introduction to the work planning process followed by a facilitated discussion to set criteria for prioritization, and a review of potential work plan items. At the January 17 meeting, Council will prioritize the work plan items and determine the desired timing for consideration of the items, within constraints of the City Council's 2023 meeting schedule. Once completed, staff will use the approved Council 2023 City Council Work Plan to develop the advanced agenda for the year. A working agenda for the meeting is included as Attachment 1. BACKGROUND: The City Council annual work plan includes all the items that the Council plans to address throughout the calendar year. The work plan is limited to what can feasibly be accomplished by staff and Council over that time. Currently, the draft includes more items than Council or staff will be able to accomplish over the course of the year, so City Council will need to reduce the draft work plan considerably. The 2022 work plan was adjusted in January to address the emerging recovery needs from the Marshall Fire. In 2022, 24 items were included on the work plan (not including Annual/Recurring items), with 8 identified around Marshall Fire recovery (as high priority), 5 non -Marshall Fire as high priority, 10 prioritized as medium, and 3 prioritized as lower.
