BACKGROUND The City Council's Annual Work Plan was adopted at the February 20, 2007 City Council meeting after the Council conducted a public workshop to discuss and receive public comments regarding priority projects. As part of this action, and consistent with past practice, staff indicated it would conduct an annual review of the Work Plan to provide information on accomplishments to date, project status information and opportunities for the Council to amend the work plan. Below is a project status summary. These goals are the basis for staff projects, work and budget priorities. Appended to this document is a detailed matrix outlining the goals, project descriptions, project status (Exhibit A) and new priorities for the Council's consideration (Exhibit B).
