Process
Each year, Olympia advisory committees submit draft work plans to the City Council's Community Livability and Public Safety Committee. After reviewing the work plans, CLPS makes a recommendation to the City Council on whether to accept them. Advisory committee work plans run from April 2024 to March 2025.
Work Plan
The draft work plan includes:
* Providing feedback about the upcoming Comprehensive Plan update.
* Reviewing proposed changes to the Engineering Development & Design Standards.
* Briefings about the sidewalk inventory and progress in implementing the ADA Transition Plan.
