Summary

Councilors instructed committee chairs to submit draft work plans by late April and scheduled committee‑presentation slots in May so the council can integrate committee plans into FY27 policy priorities.

At the March 5 reorganization meeting the council asked policy committees to prepare draft work plans aligned with the city plan and climate action plan, with deliverables due by the end of April. City Manager Jesse Baker said staff liaisons will provide a template and requested that council liaisons coordinate with staff and encourage their chairs to present draft plans for feedback during May council meetings.

Councilors emphasized the need for two‑way dialogue between the council and committee chairs to calibrate expectations. Andrew proposed special meetings or extended agenda slots so chairs can present and receive council guidance; several members agreed to a process that staggers committee presentations across May so the council can incorporate committee priorities into the FY27 policy priorities and strategies.
