Background and Analysis:
At the request of City Council, each city advisory committee forwards a recommended Work Plan to the Council early in the calendar year. The General Government Committee of Council meets with advisory committee chairs to discuss the proposed work plans and forwards a recommendation to the full Council for approval. Advisory committee annual work plans are effective April 1 through March 31.
The ultimately approved work plan establishes a set of tasks for the Planning Commission during the twelve-month period. The Chair, and sometimes other officers, then coordinates with the Commission’s staff liaison to establish a general calendar and agendas for each meeting. Note that during the course of a year it is possible for the Council to add new items to the work plan.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
General public interest is anticipated on several of the topics to be considered.

3. Continue working on the draft and consider additional modifications at the next meeting
Financial Impact:
