The presentation was live <br /> for attendees at Boston Scientific and recorded by NineNorth and distributed electronically to <br /> residents. Previously, the Council had intended to move the State of the City to the beginning of <br /> the calendar year. COVID was the initial factor that caused delays and a different schedule for <br /> the State of the City. Should Council want to continue holding this in early fall, Staff must start <br /> planning and preparing drafts for the Council. Should Council choose to wait until the beginning <br /> of 2024,preparations will begin in the fall. <br /> Staff needs direction on the below questions: <br /> • Does Council want to have the State of the City in early fall or at the start of the new <br /> year? Whichever is decided would then set the stage for having it that same time the <br /> following year. <br /> o Early fall would likely be in September or October, and the start of the new year <br /> likely in January or February. <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br />
