Task force debates process, criteria and public engagement plan for drafting 2026 bond recommendations
Summary
Members discussed how to narrow a large universe of possible projects, whether to assign funding buckets to working groups, and how to gather public input before recommending a bond amount to council.
The task force spent its agenda item on June 23 debating how it will move from a large, citywide inventory of possible projects to a recommended bond package for 2026.
Task force vice chair Nicole Conley and other members proposed a staged process: collect the comprehensive project list from city staff, let working groups evaluate and refine projects in their topical areas, then reconvene to consolidate recommendations for council. Conley said the work will require discipline because "we have infinite needs but finite resources," and she urged clear public engagement timelines.
