Subject: Commission Work Plan for 2020-21
District: All
Recommended Action
Accept proposed work plan for 2020-21.
Executive Summary/Discussion
Fiscal Year 2019-20 offered Boards and Commissions their first opportunity to create work plans which would be
presented and approved by City Council. The Historic Preservation Work Plan for 2019-20 was approved in January 2020.
In March 2020, much of the work came to a standstill as the Covid-19 public health pandemic gripped the world and
Carlsbad. Two of the Commissions six meetings in 2020 were canceled and minimal progress was made on 2019-20 work
plan items. The proposed 2020-21 work plan continues the incomplete work from 2019-20 with minimal modifications
and additions. As staff and commissioners have adapted to new work models, the goal is to complete current work
before additional desired and anticipated work is added.
Next Steps
Present proposed 2020-21 work plan to City Council. Proceed with work on work plan as described.
Fiscal Analysis
None.
Public Notification
Public notice of this item was posted in keeping with the Ralph M. Brown Act and was available for public viewing and
review at least 72 hours before the scheduled meeting date.
