to focus initial community dialogue. In revising the plan, staff attempted to eliminate some specificity in favor of providing broader tasks. Specific tasks can be further detailed during the implementation with neighborhood involvement. The particular mix and level of activities that will be undertaken will be shaped by City Council direction, identified neighborhood priorities, and available resources. COUNCIL OPTIONS The council is asked to provide direction on the Neighborhood Initiative Action Plan. The council may approve the plan as proposed, or with modifications. The council’s action will give staff direction to continue implementing the plan. The three objectives of the Neighborhood Initiative Action Plan as proposed are: ? Enhance effective public engagement activities. ? Support neighborhood involvement in problem solving. ? Focus service delivery to better meet neighborhood-identified priorities. The council may direct that a higher or lower level of priority, or no priority, be assigned to each objective. A higher level of priority will result in a higher level and larger range of activities being pursued within a major objective. A lower level of priority will result in a lower level and smaller range of activities being pursued. CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION The City Manager recommends that the council provide direction on the proposed Neighborhood Initiative Action Plan. SUGGESTED MOTION The potential motion for City Council action is to approve the proposed Neighborhood Initiative Action Plan as proposed or as modified by the council. ATTACHMENTS A.
