Background and Analysis:
Each year, all Council Committees develop a work plan. Staff developed the Work Plan based on the priorities identified at the 2023 City Council retreat.
Highlights of the 2023 work plan include: recruiting, interviewing, and recommending appointments to Council for advisory boards, committees, and commissions; discussion of a Youth Council; the findings and recommendations on how to address discrimination in the community; and a recommendation on a model for civilian oversight of law enforcement.
The 2023 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 late February or early March to interview candidates to fill vacancies on several Council advisory boards, committees, and commissions.
