Consideration and Recommendation of Planning Commission Priorities for the 2015 City Council Priorities Mr. Dolan presented the staff report, stating that every year, at least for the past five years or so, the City Council has been requesting input from the various Commissions in advance of its priority setting session which is usually held somewhere around March of each year. He indicated that the document before the Commission is a list of items the Council has approved as priorities over the years, and if the project is not completed, it stays on the list. He noted that it has a really unique origin, and a lot of these items are likely to come out of Programs adopted in the General Plan or some other master plan affecting some other area of service within the City. He added that there are literally hundreds of those projects that could be undertaken if every plan the City has adopted were considered, but these are the ones that have resonated with the Council as more urgent. He stated that there is also a subset of the items on this list, and those are the ones for which the City actually will find resources to address in the short-term. Mr. Dolan stated that Commissioner O'Connor, having been on the Commission the longest, will recall that the Commissions that limit their recommendations to one or two seem to have the most success in getting the Council to emphasize them as a priority that will be done, funded, have staff time assigned, and really get the ball rolling. In that regard, he encouraged the Commission to limit its suggestions to either one or two items, because if there are too many recommendations, the chances of them happening are less effective. Mr. Dolan stated that some recommendations from different Commissions have come in since staff distributed this document with the staff report, and the ones that are relatively new, which either came from a recommendation from a different commission or were added by the City Manager, are outlined in the newer documents in red. He indicated that those listed as "CDD" under "Responsible Department" generally fall in the Planning Commission's area, although in some cases, they could refer to some of CDD's Transportation or Engineering tasks which are not necessarily Planning - related.
