Report
Issue:
Discussion to revise PRAC’s Work Plan to respond to Council’s Three Tier Approach
Staff Contact:
Laura Keehan, Planning & Design Manager, Parks, Arts and Recreation, lkeehan@ci.olympia.wa.us
Background and Analysis:
At the request of City Council, each city advisory committee forwards a recommended Work Plan to City Council early in the calendar year. Advisory committee annual work plans are effective April 1 through March 31.
The Council-approved work plan establishes a set of tasks for PRAC during the twelve-month period. The Chair then coordinates with the 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.
This year, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Council’s General Government Committee has asked advisory committees to revisit their work plans and prioritize their work based on the following three-tiered approach:
TIER 1: Any new work plan items that relate or seize on opportunities and/or learnings related to the COVID-19 emergency.
TIER 2: Any items currently on the work plan that support the City’s recovery from the COVID-19 emergency.
TIER 3: Any items that are critical to advancing City Council priorities, as follows:
• Homeless Response Plan/Implementation
• Regional Climate Mitigation Plan
• Transportation Master Plan
• Parks Plan
• Yelm Highway Master Plan
• SE Annexation
• Housing Options (1923)
• Fire Regionalization
• Economic Development
