DRAFT Special City Council Work Plan Meeting 1 Monday, February 7,2011 Page 10 Community Development Director Trudgeon advised that his "Ought to Do's" were those items his department would like to pursue if time permitted. Parks and Recreation Director Brokke advised that the items listed remained open given the ongoing Master Plan process and how the pending survey directed their status. Police Chief Mathwig advised that 3 out of 4 of those items listed for his depart- ment were things that had been done in the past; with 2011 considered the year for expansion of the department-wide restructuring pilot program already initiated and anticipated to become fully operational by mid-summer of 2011, allowing the department to address crime at the street level; and to follow-up on crime trends to address them head on, and based on the input from one of the department's ser- geants. Public Works Director Schwartz advised that the "Ought to Do's" on his depart- ment's list indicated areas or tools that would improve efficiencies if time was available to pursue them. Councilmember McGehee confirmed that Mr. Schwartz would be coordinating with Mr. Trudgeon on ordinance revisions, to which they both responded affirma- tively. Councilmember Willmus requested staff to look at their departments from the perspective of how they were currently operating compared to how they could reallocate things within the department or change out. Fire Chief O'Neill noted that the items listed for pursuing shared services and in- creasing community outreach were based on time and resources available. Mayor Roe noted that the Chief had indicated at the last meeting plans to pursue additional grant funds for those types of opportunities. Administration Department "Must Do's" (Attachment 3.g from January 31, 2011 meeting) Council consensus was in agreement with those items as written. Priorities Consolidating staff and Councilmember comments, Mayor Roe provided those items apparently deemed priorities and having similar goals as follows.
