2021 Work Plan Priority Review
Body
Summary and Background Information:
This facilitated meeting is intended to review Council’s input on the draft 2021 work plan presented at the December 28, 2020 mini-retreat. Staff has incorporated Council’s feedback and prepared a revamped work plan for further input from Council. These documents show the original plan with Council input as to priorities, a list of projects identified as Council priorities, and a list of projects already underway.

The ‘2021 Full Plan’ document shows the entire plan, with Council’s priorities listed for each item, as well as which projects are already underway. The ‘2021 Council Priorities’ document shows only those projects listed as high priority by Council, and the ‘2021 Projects Underway’ do...
