B. REVIEW AND PROVIDE DIRECTION REGARDING COUNCILMEMBER
REFERRALS
Recommendation:
1. Acknowledge the following 2-step process, previously adopted by the City Council, to formalize Councilmember requests to allocate the City’s scarce staff resources to provide information, analysis, review, or study.
• At a regularly scheduled Council meeting a councilmember identifies the proposed work item they would like to have staff undertake and the item is agendized for a future regular meeting for Step 1 consideration.
Step 1 of the 2 Step Process
• The Mayor (or Vice Mayor in the absence of the Mayor) asks the Council to consider whether or not to refer the item to staff for evaluation and costing; and
• If a majority of the Council agrees with the request, the item is referred for evaluation. Staff estimates the number of hours needed to complete the desired action, identifies if there are sufficient resources available to complete the desired request on a timely basis, assigns an estimated completion date and reports back to Council at a future regular meeting.
Step 2 of a 2 Step Process
• The Council reviews the staff evaluation report and approves or disapproves the request.
• If the request is approved, it is added to the staff’s City Council Referral Log and is tracked to ensure it is returned to the City Council in a timely manner.
2. Review the attached list (Attachment 1) of 20 open referral requests proposed by members of the City Council that have not completed Steps 1 or 2, 5 that have completed Step 1 but not yet Step 2 and 5 that have completed Steps 1 and 2 and require further work by staff to be brought back at a future meeting. The City Council is asked to provide direction to staff to identify and prioritize, work projects that are to be referred to the City Manager for an evaluation of cost and resource availability, with a report to Council prior to the Council directing staff to proceed with the work project. Council is also being asked to consider other Council identified goals in prioritizing these referrals.
