RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend that the City Council approve the finalized City Council priorities and Commission work plan items for fiscal year 2026-27.

INTRODUCTION
On April 7, 2026 the City Council provided final feedback and direction on the City Council priorities, and the various City Council/Commission liaisons have met to discuss Commission work plans for the upcoming year. Staff have incorporated this feedback into the attached documents and ask the Council to approve the finalized City Council priorities and Commission work plan items for fiscal year 2026-27. Due to the timing of pre-approved and previously planned events and activities, some Commission work plan items have already commenced and will continue into the upcoming fiscal year.

DISCUSSION
As occurred last year, staff has worked closely with Council and the Council/liaisons to finalize the City Council Priorities and Work Plans for the Commissions. On April 7th the City Council reviewed and adjusted the draft priorities for fiscal year 2626-27. Attachment 1 and 2 provide the final priorities based on this feedback. With the exception of the Cultural Heritage Commission, all of the “advisement” commissions have met with their respective liaisons and the recommended work plans are captured in Attachment 3. The Cultural Heritage Commission has Meeting Date: September 1, 2026
four work plan items, three of which are reoccurring. The fourth work plan item was recently recommended by the Commission, so a liaison meeting will be scheduled soon to discuss it.

Per Council direction from last year, the City Manager is allowed to make recommendations to the City Council on these work plans. These recommendations are captured on Attachment 3. The City Council liaisons met, and the recommendation of the various liaisons is incorporated into Attachment 3 as well. Over the next year the commissions will work with staff on carrying out the work plans as established by City Council, and the liaisons will then hold checkin meetings mid-year with the Chair and Vice Chair to discuss progress and provide any further direction/feedback. Staff will begin working with the City Council on the Fiscal Year 2027-28 Council Priorities early next calendar year. As part of this process, staff will provide updates to the existing priorities as needed, including adjustments to timelines and dates to reflect changes in scheduling, project progress, or other relevant circumstances.

FISCAL IMPACT
Unless otherwise indicated, each of the City Council priorities and Commission work plans that are listed has funding available in the operating or capital improvement budgets to complete the item.

City Manager
