Re: Background Information for September 11th Priority - Setting Workshop
The attached information is being provided in preparation for the Priority-Setting
Workshop, which will be held on September 11th n the Main Library from 9 :30 a.m. to 2
p.m. The information includes an agenda for the workshop, a draft list of citywide
objectives, and department work plans.
The work plans are organized so that the major projects, studies and initiatives are
listed first, with the more routine, ongoing projects listed below the shaded line. Since
the work plans are intended to be working documents for the departments and serve as
a means of communication between department directors and their staff, the format
differs slightly between the individual departments. Additionally, two of the documents
represent a consolidation of departments; the plans for both the Police and Fire
Departments are contained in the Public Safety Work Plan and the
Administrative /Support Service Work Plan represents the activities of the City Manager,
City Attorney, City Clerk, Finance, and the Human Resources Departments.
