Background and Analysis:
Each City Advisory Body is expected to propose an annual work plan to the City Council for consideration in the first quarter of each year. In developing the work plans, Advisory Bodies are to consider:
• City Council established or adopted goals and priorities;
• Resource availability such as budget, staff support, and Advisory Body member time;
• Departmental work priorities; and
• Advisory Body member knowledge, interest, and expertise.
The work plans are annually drafted by the Advisory Body, reviewed by the Community Livability and Public Safety Committee (CLPS) and then formally adopted by the City Council in the first quarter of the year. During its review, the City Council may change or modify an Advisory Body's proposed work plan so that it reflects the City Council’s priorities, available resources, and emerging issues. Once adopted by the City Council, the work plan serves as the basis for an Advisory Body's focus and effort during the year. The City Council may refer other issues to the Advisory Body during the year.
Climate Analysis:
The decision to adopt the Work Plan has no climate impact.

The Work Plan includes delivery of Inspire Olympia’s program goals for equity and increased access to cultural programming.
