Committee adopts 2026' 2029 ELR work plan prioritizing accountability, modernization and labor relations

The Enterprise and Labor Relations Committee adopted its 2026' 2029 work plan at a July 20 meeting after a brief presentation by Dwight Miller, an ELR community liaison with Legislative Policy and Research.

Miller told the committee staff met with the chair and vice-chair, issued a Smartsheet survey to gather input, compiled responses and worked with committee leadership to craft strategic objectives. He highlighted two broad goals: promoting an efficient and accountable enterprise and supporting collaborative labor relations and an equitable city workforce. Sub-objectives include enterprise oversight and accountability, modernizing city operations and workforce sustainability.

Chair Linnea Palmisano said the priorities directly reflect conversations with committee members and survey feedback, and that the plan helps clarify the committee's charge. Council member Whiting thanked Palmisano for drafting and compiling the work plan.

With no further discussion recorded in the provided transcript, the chair moved approval of the work plan. The transcript ends shortly after the chair called for a voice vote; the recording does not capture the full vote tally or any subsequent business.

Committee staff said the plan will provide measurable strategic goals and objectives to show the public what the committee is doing and guide committee work over the coming term.
