Council ranks CIP and operating priorities; manager to weight results for budget
Summary
Using a dot-ranking exercise, council flagged a set of operating and capital items (including stormwater maintenance, place-making, enforcement staffing and beach nourishment) to guide the manager’s recommended FY22 budget; staff will apply weighted scoring and return with refined cost estimates.
Councilors used the workshop process to place green/yellow/red dots on B and C list items and then prioritized top choices with blue/orange dots. The manager summarized the counts and explained staff will apply a weighted approach to blue/orange choices and incorporate those priorities into the manager’s recommended budget.
Several items received strong support in the ranking: enhanced stormwater maintenance, enhanced code enforcement/consolidated enforcement, beach re-nourishment at Buckroe, and parking/placemaking items for Phoebus and downtown. The manager said the dot results are directional and that staff will provide final cost and phasing scenarios before final budget recommendations.
Councilors were explicit that green dots do not guarantee immediate funding but will guide staff recommendations; the manager said she will still use discretion to pursue timely opportunities such as grant matches or regional partnerships that arise before the budget release.
