Background and Analysis:
Each year, all Council Committees develop a work plan. Staff developed the draft Work Plan for the Committee’s consideration 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.
Climate Analysis:
The Climate Framework analysis will be completed for the individual work plan items being presented to the Committee throughout the year.
Equity Analysis:
The Equity Framework analysis will be completed for the individual work plan items being presented to the Committee throughout the year.
