MEETING DATE: April 15, 2024
SUBJECT:
City Council Priority List – Adoption
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the City Council Priority List for fiscal year 2024-25.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council's goal-setting process comprises a three-step deliberation procedure culminating in the adoption of a Priority List, facilitating comprehensive resource planning over multiple years. The first step of the process was a City Council workshop, held on February 3, 2024. At this workshop, the City Council reviewed the adopted fiscal year 2023-24 Priority List, removed operationalized and completed items, and proposed new priorities to add to the Priority List for fiscal year 2024-25.
The second step of the process was held during a City Council meeting on March 18, 2024. At this meeting, the City Council reviewed the proposed work plan for each objective and the estimated resource requirements to needed to achieve the proposed work plan objectives and received public comment on the draft Priority List. Some revisions were made to the Draft Priority List during the meeting, which included:
•Updated the proposed work plan on two items, #26 and #27, to accurately reflect the original intention of the City Councilmember who proposed the items. These items are highlighted in yellow on Attachment 1.
Priority Updated Work Plan based on Council Direction
#26: Improve and strengthen democratic
systems and decrease polarization.

Staff will continue to conduct post-election review and will add additional metrics and analysis as an enhancement to this review.
#27: Work with schools, community colleges,
businesses, and other organizations to expand
youth and senior workforce development &
civic leadership opportunities.
Attract and retain youth/young adult interns by partnering with organizations, such as Empowerment Through Action and local businesses, and centralizing internships. Improve our volunteer program to attract and retain volunteers, especially seniors.
