Title: Review and Approval of Workplans Implementing 2022 City Council
Priorities
From: City Manager
Lead Department: City Manager
Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council review and approve the list of major projects associated
with the 2022 City Council Priorities.
Executive Summary
This report transmits workplans for the four priorities identified by the Council during
the February 2022 retreat for the 2022 calendar year (CY). The workplans are designed
to both identify the work ahead while also serving as a tool to track progress on those
tasks. The individual workplans of the four priorities are briefly described in the body of
this report. Attachment A to this report transmits a breakdown of workplan elements to
be completed within each priority area within the first six months of 2022, within the
second half of 2022, and those not yet resourced or otherwise on hold.
As noted on March 14, 2022, details provided at the study session on community
engagement relate to and connect with the City Council priorities workplan. As priorities
evolve and workplans develop, engagement and other activities to implement these
workplans will also evolve.
Background
Each year, the City Council reviews its priorities for the upcoming calendar year at its
annual Council Retreat. A Council priority is defined as a topic that will receive
significant attention during the year. The Palo Alto City Council convened to set its 2022
priorities on February 5, 2022, informed in part by community feedback. The
community was able to contribute through an online survey, e-mails to
Councilmembers, and public participation in the City Council retreat on February 5. The
City Council adopted four priorities for 2022, including: Economic Recovery and
Transition (ERT), Climate Change – Protection and Adaptation (CCPA), Housing for
Social and Economic Balance (HSEB), and Community Health and Safety (CHS).

The major workplan elements for each priority are listed and discussed in the body of
this report. These workplan elements, or “major projects”, provide context and
enumerate the anticipated projects that will be completed. Behind the scenes, in
addition to these major projects, there is a great deal of work being completed on other
high priority projects as directed by the City Council.
Examples of major projects not outlined in this report but identified as high-priority
projects includes but is not limited to:
- Analysis, engagement, and drafting of potential ballot measures for November
2022;
- Workforce environment, recruitment, and retention, ensuring an employer of
choice status;
- Audits as approved previously and expected to be approved for the FY 2022/23
Audit Workplan;
- A review and streamlining of the citywide procurement process;
- Rebuilding of the Regional Water Quality Control Plant;
To support the major projects discussed in this report, other high-priority initiatives
such as those listed above, and core city services, administrative resources are also
required. In this time of constrained resources, the City will continue to focus on
services with the greatest community impact, maintaining core city services, and
managing the vulnerabilities and risks associated with constraints while pursuing the
major projects listed in this report.
Discussion
Based on the City Council’s four (4) 2022 adopted priorities, the following discussion
presents the major workplan elements involved. For each priority, the items are divided
into three categories:
• Projects already underway or scheduled to begin by June 2022
• Projects scheduled to begin July-December 2022, and
• Projects that have been identified as priorities but where resources are not
currently available or that are otherwise “on hold.”
Projects that are listed as scheduled to begin in January – June 2022 are not
necessarily anticipated to conclude by June 2022; similarly, projects listed as beginning
in July – December 2022 are not necessarily anticipated to conclude by December
2022. While actual completion dates will vary, the workplan communicates the breadth
and volume of concurrent activities. Projects that have been identified as priorities but
where resources are not currently available are anticipated to be considered as part of
the development of the FY 2023 Budget development process to assess the allocation
and appropriation of resources for projects where additional resources would expedite
the work.

Resource Implications
Although there are no additional direct resource implications for the projects described
as occurring during the 2022 calendar year, a number of projects in this report are
identified as either not yet being resourced or temporarily ‘on hold’. In order to
appropriate resources for such projects, staff would need to be reallocated from
existing work to those projects and additional appropriation actions would likely be
necessary.
Stakeholder Engagement
Significant stakeholder engagement is planned across each of these workplan elements
both internally and externally. Major community engagement plans were outlined in a
Study Session with the City Council on March 14, 2022 at which time staff received
Council input. To the extent the workplan elements are changed, adjustments to the
community engagement plans will be evaluated based on staffing resources available
and changes made within existing budgetary constraints, where possible. The staff
report outlining engagement can be found here on page 181:
