Council schedules Feb. 23 work session to prioritize council work plan and commissions
Summary
Council agreed to a brainstorming/prioritization session on Feb. 23 to refine a council work plan, discuss commission reauthorization and prepare for potential levy and comp-plan–aligned priorities.
Council discussed how to structure a council work plan and how commission reauthorization should fit within that schedule. Mayor Horstman proposed a brainstorming session for Feb. 23 to identify priority items that align with the comprehensive plan and existing staff commitments.
Council members emphasized the importance of tying work-plan items to the comp plan, keeping the list short and focused, and preparing clear council memos to support any additions. One councilor suggested priority-based budgeting and using department filters to narrow potential candidates; others urged the group to avoid turning the work plan into an unfunded wish list.
The council agreed to meet next Monday (Feb. 23) for a constrained session (intended to start at 5:30 p.m. for about an hour and a half) to review staff-provided lists, consider commission reauthorization, and prioritize items for the 2027 work plan and near-term budget deliberations.
