Background and Analysis:
Each year, all Council Committees develop a work plan. Staff developed the draft Community Livability and Public Safety Committee Work Plan based on the priorities identified at the 2024 City Council retreat.
Highlights of the 2024 work plan include: recruiting, interviewing, and recommending appointments to Council for advisory boards, committees, and commissions; discussion of a Youth Council; the findings of how people experience discrimination in the community; and a recommendation on a model for community oversight of law enforcement.
The 2024 work plan allows time throughout the year to respond to emerging issues. Meetings are scheduled for the fourth Wednesday of every month starting at 5:30 pm. However, additional meetings will be scheduled in March to interview candidates to fill vacancies on several Council advisory boards, committees, and commissions.
The Community Livability and Public Safety Committee met on Wednesday, January 24 and unanimously approved the proposed 2024 Work Plan and directed staff to forward it to the full Council for approval.
