As staff have had more conversations about our committee structure, I wanted to add a few more questions to our key questions for tomorrow. The idea is to have an open discussion on how we best further the vision of the City. Key questions: How do we best establish committees that will ensure the principles and work outlined in the City Plan 2024 get accomplished as effectively and efficiently and with the most engagement from the community? How do we make the best use of staff time to support this policy and community work? How do we ensure that volunteer committee members’ time is well spent and aligned to the vision of the community, Council, and Plan? How do we balance folks who want to do things (plan events, book discussions, select art, conduct engagement efforts) vs folks who want to advise on policy? Some committees or committee members see themselves as advocates and not necessarily alleys to other committees. How do we balance the role of policy advocacy and ensure we are aligning all work to the goals of the City Plan and Council direction? How would you like work to flow between the Council and committees? I look forward to hearing your thoughts tomorrow!

Recommendations may include anything from keeping some or all committees as they are, to modifying areas of responsibility, to establishing one or more new committees or merging existing committees. Recommendations could also include improved processes for coordinating the work between the City Council, Committees, Planning Commission, and staff. Key questions we will ask are: How do we best establish committees that will ensure the principles and workoutlined in the City Plan 2024 get accomplished as effectively and efficiently andwith the most engagement from the community?How do we make the best use of staff time to support this policy and communitywork?How do we ensure that volunteer committee members’ time is well spent andaligned to the vision of the community, Council, and Plan? Specifically, we will work to better align: Affordable Housing Bicycle & Pedestrian City Charter Common Area for Dogs Economic Development Energy Housing Trust Fund Natural Resource & Conservation Public Art Recreation & Park Population Housing Economy Energy Environment Transportation Community, History & Culture Recreation Community Services Water & Utility Future Land Use To this end, please join us on May 29th at 5:00 in Room 301 for a conversation between the Staff Liaisons and the Committee Chairs on your thoughts for the future of our fantastic City Committees. Following this email, I will share a calendar invitation as well. If you are unable to attend, please consider sending your Committee Vice Chair or another designee. And, feel free to include this discussion on an upcoming agenda so you can represent the perspectives of the full Committee! I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
