AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 12, 2019 Council Item
TITLE: Priorities Work Projects Workshop
PRESENTED BY: G. Harold Duffey, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: Review, Modify, Add and Approve Priority Projects for Fiscal
Year 2019-2020
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports the City Council’s Mission: to preserve and protect our
community and its exceptional quality of life through thoughtful planning, within the
constraints of fiscally responsible government.
BACKGROUND:
City Council requested staff to hold a Priorities Work Projects Workshop that will provide
policy direction from City Council to the organization.
The Priorities Workshop is an opportunity for the City Council to reiterate its priorities
with staff and discuss delivery of those priorities based on resources and the
organizational capacity. Staff aligns its priorities bases on anticipated work hours, costs
and perceived importance to the community. The Workshop will allow Council to
confirm or reset its priorities, in turn staff will also adjust its projects based on the
updated Council priorities.
City Council will work with staff to acquire an understanding of whether all their priorities
are going to be met in a timely fashion and if the budget will allow these goals to be
completed. It is not uncommon for projects that are on a priorities list to roll over to the
next fiscal year, because the project could be complex, projects have significant
milestones or funding was delayed.
During the May 14, 2019 staff report outlining the Priorities Workshop, staff proposed
presenting projects with an estimated timeline for completion. In this process, projects,
anticipated resource allocation, funding and community impact would be the driving
factors on how staff ranked the priority of projects.
Projects will not include current operational core services or day-to-day operating
functions. These will be proposed projects that staff and or City Council expressed a
desire that the City pursue for the benefit of the community.

DISCUSSION:
Each Department will present its priorities to the Council (Attachment I). After
discussion, City Council may remove or add items to the priorities list in the following
manner. A member of the Council would state the following: I recommend that item
(name) be considered (Top, High, Low) priority. If more than 3 members of the Council
support the ranking, the item will be moved to the recommended priority. The category
ranking below should be used if a member of the Council decides to add a new item to
a department’s priority lists. Any item with 30 or more votes will be added as a Top
Priority, items with more than 21 votes but less than 30 shall be added as a High
Priority.
Category # of
Points
Issued
Description
Top
Priority
10 It is critically important that this project or portions of
the project be completed within this fiscal year (if not
completed it would have impacts to City, applicants
or community) - Staff believes it fits within its
capacity to complete task or project this year.
High
Priority
7 Very important that this item be completed within the
designated timeframe but requires some action by
applicant or outside agency. No significant impact if
project rolls over to next year.
Priority 5 This item may be accomplished if all “Top” and “High
Priority” projects have been completed. Can be
elevated if funding materializes and could be lost if
project is not executed immediately.
Low
Priority
2 This is a new project that could have benefit but is
not ready for any action during this fiscal year.
Delete 0 This item should be removed from the Priorities
Work Program.
After each department presents its priorities to Council, if Council amends the
department’s Top Priority Category in a significant manner, making it impossible for st aff
to accomplish those items within the Top Priority category, the City Manager may
express his concerns about the department’s capacity and recommend the Council
remove other items from the priority list or suggest the department’s priority projects be
discussed at a future Council meeting.
