Background and Analysis:
One of the common concerns Commissioners expressed during their annual retreat is confusion about the OPC Work Plan, how it is developed in conjunction with other City work plans and where we are now in fulfillment of the Commission's 2014-2015 Work Plan (Attachment 2).
The City's new Action Plan will hopefully provide a stronger tool for identifying and prioritizing actions that involve advisory boards, and thus inform their future work plans. Staff will also work with the Commission to create a better process for development of the 2015-2016 Work Plan; the Commission will begin this discussion early next year, following the City Council's annual retreat, which usually takes place in early January.
