So

we

do have a quorum presence, so I'm calling the meeting to order.

We will be convening into executive uh session in the first floor conference room.

Uh at the end of the executive session, I'll come out and announce work session at which time the public will be encouraged and invited to join us.

And just in case anyone is wondering about the weather, we are continuously monitoring the current conditions and have contingency plans here in the building in place.

So we are safe and hope you stay safe as well.

Thank you very much.

The first one for actually the first one is discussion regarding agenda items.

I'm gonna be requesting that we pull item C from consent at the request of Councilmember Walker.

I will explain all the guys to do it.

But he would like to be present for that vote.

And so I am he is asking, we are asking to postpone that until the May 12th meeting.

The 26th.

Excuse me.

I had the 12th written down.

So that he's he has requested that we postpone that to the 26th.

Kevin,

um are there uh from the city side, are there any uh negatives to postponing that to

your

smart city board, maybe want us to move forward faster,

but there's no pending contract needs or there's nothing uh pressing from a functionality standpoint to do that.

Okay.

Any other agenda items?

I will be recusing the from the item concerning our manners again tonight.

And mayor proton will be handling that in time stall.

Anything else?

Okay, moving on.

Uh Ms.

Leach, item B, discussion regarding the Vision 24 prioritization.

Thank you.

Mayor Council, I am here this evening to share with you the results of your uh prior prioritization exercise that you completed recently.

Tonight I'll be going over why this process is important.

I'll go over and review the process that you went through, and then we will talk through the results.

At the end, I will be seeking council direction on how you would like to proceed forward with the priorities for the upcoming.

This whole process is very important because it is it literally establishes the focus and the discipline for um for us as staff around the priorities that are most important to the council.

Over time, the council has been very um faithful to all of the strategic plans that we have had in place going back to 2030, um, and this process that we have that outlines the priorities that then staff takes and creates a work plan around maintains focus and discipline so that we can make continuous progress around those important priorities.

Since the plan was adopted in 2020, we have invested and the council has invested over 110 million dollars in support of the plan.

A

process refresher, so we have a completely refreshed plan.

So recall the process that we just went through over the past year.

The key changes to that is uh we have combined pillars two and three, so now that is just pillar two, and the language for that pillar has combined the concepts for both of those pillars together.

We have officially designated the foundation, which was just sort of uh an add bolted on piece to the existing uh original plan that has officially been designated as a pillar.

And then we made a number of changes to improve the clarity.

Um so we removed words like uh innovation hubs and uh creativity zones and really nobody knew what we were gonna do with those.

So we asked the council to go through a prioritization exercise.

This exercise is identical to what you all conducted last year.

There are three categories that we asked you to consider for each of the pillars and goals.

And so as we go through this, um the aggregate scores, the closer it is to seven, the higher uh emphasis the council had from a consensus standpoint to um push those to the forefront in terms of uh capacity and resources.

I

will share from an operational standpoint.

So the entire um let me go back one.

Uh so from an operational standpoint, we do have the three categories.

push those to the forefront in terms of uh capacity and resources I will share from an operational standpoint so the entire um let me go back one uh so from an operational standpoint we do have the three categories um and once we start looking at the aggregate scores really it it it boils down to we're either maintaining the level of service that we have today for pretty much every one of the goals that we've got or those are skewing very high in terms of there is consensus that many of you rated it as a seven and so that goal gets pushed to the top and so there are no there are no goals that are rated as a one right and so in terms of things that are falling back we have consistently made progress on all parts of the plans regardless of the top ten priorities and that's a function of the aggregate rating which essentially has all of those goals kind of hovering around um hovering around the four so um as we walk through this it is important to remember that all parts of that plan are being addressed by staff it's just essentially either maintaining that level of effort that we have today or we are pushing that forward to provide a little more emphasis this is a summary of the prioritized goals I'm sorry for the pillars um and so these are your highest ranked pillars in order and so clearly pillar four on creating economic vitalities through strategic investments is your highest rated goal followed by our sustainable government the biggest movers uh for this year was uh was the forward pillar which was um ranked third last year and then the emphasis on transportation networks which actually was sixth rated last year and so transportation has moved higher towards the emphasis category and then forward has moved more towards uh maintaining the current level of service if you'll recall this rating is important because if you guys have any um ties among any of the goals that you'd like to see prioritized this can help um guide those discussions around okay well which pillar is this in and then it can start aligning some of those goals if you have some ties that you'd like to either move one or the other okay so this is the top 11 goals and these were the goals that were um the top rated out of all of them so these were in your packet um everything there are um the first two were grouped and they were your two top rated goals they were almost almost six and a half so they were rated at 6.25 um and then you've got a cluster of five the next five or six goals right after that were rated at 5.875 and then everything below that is 5.5 to 5.125 um I do want to point out that we do have um if you look at encourage residents connect to connect with one another to create a cohesive community that is new for this year I would like to also share that if you will notice that supporting old town has moved more towards maintaining our level of effort instead of emphasizing and then the focus on um neighborhood cohesiveness through resident connection and our physical home environment that is a very important part of also what the council had indicated was important so if we um based on the feedback that we received today from council related to those goals so if we were to go ahead and just assume that the the foundation goals we're gonna go ahead and prioritize those no matter what the ones the goals that are in red are the next three goals that would be kind of backfilling those spaces that would be created if we were to do that so with that the next steps we would be seeking your direction on which list of prioritized goals you would like us to move forward with from a work plan perspective we will then take that plan we will take that list and develop our work plan and then present that to you as a draft as part of your budget process.

So backup one please go over what the three revenues at the bottom again.

Yes so these are the next highest rated goals if we were to eliminate the foundation goals off of the top 1 the top 10 lists so we've created a little bit of capacity by just assuming that those foundation goals are going to be something we're gonna do every year from a focus and emphasis standpoint.

But isn't that how we got where we are now that we decided we needed to put the zeros in there so that you didn't so that we didn't overtast the staff with additional.

And then that's

question.

Oh gotcha.
