The packet for the December hearing is available online here and the minutes are available in the January staff packet. There is also a video of the discussion online here, starting at 28:45. Last year's Work Plan can be found in the December packet for reference, as well. This memo includes information to help commissioners evaluate Work Plan items and corresponds to an evaluation worksheet (attached). PRIORITIZATION & EVALUATION Staff has provided a worksheet (attached) for commissioners to use in evaluating and prioritizing work plan items. Criteria to support the evaluation of items are as follows: • Required: Is this a required part of the program's function? • Urgency: Does this project have an upcoming deadline? • Responsible Party: Who will complete this project? Is there sufficient interest (e.g., 2+ commissioners)? • Mission: Does this project have a strong connection to the role and responsibilities of the HPC? • Prerequisites: What projects need to be completed before this project can be completed? • Dependencies: What projects rely on the completion of this one? • Preservation Master Plan (PMP): Does this project help prepare for a potential 2024 kickoff of the PMP update?
