EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In response to an item on the City Council’s Strategic Plan adopted in May 2023, the Public Works and Sustainability Commission (Commission) heard presentations at two meetings on this topic in the Fall of 2023 and discussed the outline of the policy recommendations made by the subcommittee in January 2024. Subsequently, the subcommittee met with City staff in the Public Works and Community Development Departments and made comments on the proposed guidance policy. At the meeting, it was determined that the next steps are for the subcommittee to edit the guidance policy then take an item to both the Public Works and Sustainability Commission and the Planning Commission to get their support for this guidance policy.
It is anticipated that this item will be coming back to the commission in May or June 2024 depending on availability in the agenda schedule.
