LCityof <br />Louisville <br />COLORADO • SINCE 1878 <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />AGENDA ITEM 2 <br />SUBJECT: DISCUSSION/DIRECTION — 2025 CITY COUNCIL WORK PLAN <br />DATE: JULY 23, 2024 <br />PRESENTED BY: SAMMA FOX, INTERIM CITY MANAGER <br />SUMMARY: <br />The City Council establishes their work plan annually and most recently revised their <br />2024 work plan in January of this year. The annual work plan reflects Council's priorities <br />and includes only those items that require City Council involvement such as policy <br />direction, guidance, or approval. The City Council work plan also helps staff prioritize <br />internal work plans and schedule the work that is needed to bring to City Council for <br />engagement. <br />This is the second of a series of meetings planned to craft and finalize the 2025 Council <br />Work Plan. Currently, work plans are organized by programs and contain a mix of <br />strategic initiatives, programs, and tasks. For 2025, staff proposed taking an opportunity <br />with the unique timing of the first resident survey in four years and the ten-year <br />Comprehensive Plan Revision to build on existing strategic alignment of the work plan. <br />The original approach asked each council member to identify problems and <br />opportunities, and what success looks like for each, which would then be brought <br />together, refined, and prioritized by council during this meeting. A variety of factors have <br />led to a change in this approach. Staff now encourages each council member to come <br />to the meeting having reviewed the most recent resident survey and the budget retreat <br />materials, and with their top priorities in mind. As a council, staff requests the priorities <br />be narrowed to three to five, which are supported by all of council, and then that council <br />refine by identifying what success looks like for each priority area. <br />Staff would then have the opportunity to apply programs and tasks to each priority area, <br />in -line with council's expectations for the item, before returning to council for final edits <br />and approval. The work plan will be an annual product driven by council priorities and <br />used to set advanced agenda items and inform staff priorities that are strategically <br />aligned with community values and interests. <br />Links to Resources: <br />2024 Council Work Plan <br />- Programs <br />2024 Resident Survey <br />- Comprehensive Plan Update Project <br />June 11 Work Plan Presentation <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />2 <br />
