BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
On December 7, 2021, City Council approved the final Bridge to 2023 Priorities Plan, which outlined five priority areas for the City to focus its efforts towards in 2022. The five areas - financial stability and economy, housing choice, infrastructure and utilities, public safety, and sustainability - and associated goals were determined following an online community survey, targeted engagement, and City Council input.
DISCUSSION:
Staff will provide two formal plan status updates in 2022: this and a second update in October in conjunction with the start of the 2023 budget workshops. To provide the appropriate level of detail around each priority, staff is focusing on public safety and sustainability in this report and will expand upon financial stability and economy, housing choice, and infrastructure and utilities later in the year. However, significant work continues to progress in all priority areas.
Overall Update
To assess priority progress, staff is using adequate resource availability as its measurement tool. Adequate resources are defined as the appropriate amount of personnel, finances, and materials available and in place to move forward with goals as planned.
Four months into 2022, three plan areas are on track, with two - infrastructure and utilities and sustainability - being monitored due to external financial circumstances and potential additional internal resource needs.
