Recommended Action
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive the report on the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 City Council Work Plan.
Body
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no fiscal implications associated with the recommended action.
BACKGROUND:
Based on past precedent, the City Council reviews a Work Plan document that lists the City Council’s priorities. The document allows the City Council to receive an update on projects that staff is undertaking (based on City Council direction) and allows the City Council to review projects they may want to proceed with.
The City Council’s current Work Plan was discussed at the April 23, 2019 City Council meeting. Based on direction provided at that meeting, staff updated the Work Plan to reflect the priorities identified by City Council.
DISCUSSION:
The Work Plan reflects the City Council’s priorities for the coming 12 months (attached). Additionally, staff has provided a summary of all the work plan items which includes their status and target date of completion.
Staff regularly returns to the City Council with quarterly updates to the Work Plan and has the opportunity to reassess Work Plan items and seek direction from the City Council. The next tentatively agendized update to the Work Plan will be presented in quarter three of 2019.
Staff has evaluated work plans developed by other cities and revised the City Council Work Plan to provide an updated design, greater clarity, and more information on City Council initiatives. The City Council Work Plan now features consistent layouts, priority levels on projects, funding sources and images. Priority levels are organized in the following A, B, and C categories with the following definitions.
• A - Critical
• B - Important
• C - Normal
Recently, the City Council held joint meetings with commissions overseen by the Community Development and Parks and Recreation Departments. In these meetings, the City Council reviewed Commission Work Plans items and provided direction to move forward. Currently, some items on the Commission Work Plans are on the City Council Work Plan. Items that require staff time and are not on the City Council Work Plan are summarized below for review.
Community Development Commissions (Planning & Parking and Public Improvements)
• Residential encroachments in the Tree Section
• Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Study
• Downtown Hardscape and Landscape replacement
• Neighborhood Public Transportation study
• Permeable Surface standards

(Note: One project not currently on the City Council Work Plan, but requires significant staff time is the “Climate Action & Adaptation Plan.”)

• Salute to the Troops Concert in the Park
• AC Conner Exhibition
• Manhattan Beach Art Center (MBAC) Façade and grounds Improvements-

CONCLUSION:
