07/22/2021 City Manager’s Thursday Update

Good afternoon, all.

There will be no Friday Update this week as we have a planned goal setting workshop with the City Council this Friday and Saturday morning from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Friday’s format includes presentations by the senior management team on major municipal program areas (Police, Fire, Public Works, Community Development and General Government) and facilitated conversation regarding potential projects and priorities, which will be discussed in more detail on Saturday as part of finalizing Council goals. Funding for priority projects could include American Rescue Plan funding, grants, capital reserves, rates, and / or voter approved adjustments to assessments and taxes. There will be an opportunity for public comment, and public input regarding potential projects and priorities. The final goals will be brought back to the City Council in a regular session for adoption.

The goal setting workshop is open to the public and light refreshments will be available. We do ask that all attendees wear a mask, except when actively eating and drinking, to ensure a safe environment for everyone.

Thank you very much.

Best, Kathleen
