Staff Recommends That The City Council Receive An Informational Report From The City Administrator On The Status Of Implementing Policy Directives Passed By The City Council.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As a part of the City’s Biannual or Midcycle Budgets, in addition to the adopted budget allocations, the City Council also directs staff to assess or implement specific policies, programs, or performance targets and report back at a future date with findings, recommendations, and/or a proposed implementation plan. The Policy Directives Tracking document includes and tracks the progress of policy directives provided in the Fiscal Year 2021- 23 Biannual Budget, Fiscal Year 2022-23 Midcycle Budget, and Fiscal Year 2023-25 Biannual Budget. These priorities are categorized based on the City Council’s policy priorities of 1) Trustworthy/Responsive Government, 2) Improve Quality of Life, 3) Holistic Community Safety, and 4) Vibrant Sustainable Infrastructure.
The Policy Directives Tracking document (see Attachment A-C) includes the purpose or topic of the directive, a summary description of the policy directive, the directive’s current status, and the next steps. As directives are completed or accomplished by City staff, the status is updated from “open” to “closed.”
