2020 Commission Proposed Work Plans
City Manager Neal explained that staff worked with the commissions to understand how their proposed
work plans fits into citywide goals. City Manager Neal said several changes for 2020 were limiting cross-
commission work because it was not effective in 2019, determine if a proposed work plan should be a
staff work plan, clarify commissions' role as advisor versus performing the work, and identify common
themes. For example, trees were in several work plans and it would be more effective if staff identified a
citywide goal related to trees.
Community Engagement Coordinator Lamon presented the proposed work plans to Council. Council
offered feedback. The final work plans will be presented to Council on Dec. 3 for approval.
