The July 1 workshop concluded with a set of immediate next steps: the commission will receive a written report and city officials will determine how budgetary and staff resources will be allocated to support the commission’s top priorities. Notes say city officials should 'decide how budget works with commission’s top priorities,' signaling that implementation depends on city budgeting decisions.

Facilitators (Ben and Ella Kessler) were recorded as providing a future report, and participants were encouraged to plug into MORPC and connect with other regional sustainability groups. The commission also requested clearer communication about when staff and council expect commission feedback on planning and zoning projects.
