REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Title
Review and Approve 2026 Board and Commission Annual Work Plans
Report
DISCUSSION
Council appointed boards and commissions have developed proposed annual work plans for calendar year 2026. These work plans are submitted annually for Council approval. Work plans identify policy issues the board/commission will be acting on during the year.
2026 work plans (Attachments 1 through 9) also list:
* Board and Commission meeting dates;
* Routine and special assignments specific to each board or commission; and
* Annual review of policies and reports.
The Personnel Board typically addresses appeals under specific duties instead of addressing policy issues. This Board does not operate under an Annual Work Plan.
When preparing 2027 Work Plans, staff will create plans that run from January 2027 through January 2028. This will allow Boards and Commissions to have Council-approved items to review each January, while Council provides direction for work in the months that follow.
