MEMORANDUM
Date: February 22, 2024
To: Mayor and City Councilmembers
Through: Kelly DiMartino, City Manager
From: Rupa Venkatesh, Assistant City Manager
Subject: Feb. 13, 2024 Work Session Summary: Council Priority Setting Session #2
___________________________________________________________________________
BOTTOM LINE
The purpose of this memo is to document the summary of discussions during the Feb. 13 Work
Session. Mayor Arndt, Mayor Pro Tem Francis and Councilmembers Gutowsky, Pignataro,
Canonico, and Potyondy were present in person. Councilmember Ohlson participated remotely.
DISCUSSON SUMMARY
Staff provided Council a high-level overview of the process utilized during the Council Retreat
on Jan. 27 which resulted in proposed priority titles and problem/definition statements. Council
provided feedback on staff’s framing of the proposed priorities. Questions were raised how
individual inputs would be tracked and it was clarified that Council would first be approving the
priority titles and definition statements. Once approved, staff will schedule work sessions as
needed with Council regarding specific actions to achieve these priorities.
Council requested that consideration of the approved priorities be brought forward sooner than
March 19 and there was consensus to consider each proposed priority with a separate
resolution.
NEXT STEPS
The proposed priority titles and definition statements will be revised based on Council feedback
received. Council will consider adoption of priorities during a Council adjourned meeting on
Feb. 27, 2024. Staff will have further discussion with Council on how to accomplish approved
priorities during subsequent work sessions. In addition, Council will receive a memo concerning
the bike rack items at a later time.
FOLLOW-UP ITEMS
During the Council retreat, one Councilmember provided the input “improve access to give
(charitably)” under the human and social health proposed priority that was left off the proposed

for Vulnerable Populations” be approved by Council, staff will have further discussion with
Council on how to achieve this priority.
