related to boards and commissions. Included in those revisions is a requirement for each board
and commission to submit an annual work plan and a subsequent report of the activities it has
undertaken to the City Council. The workplan should include the activities that the board or
commission anticipates undertaking in the coming year. The City Council will review, amend if
necessary and approve the work plan. The purpose of the work plan is to encourage increased
dialogue between the boards and commissions and the City Council. It will also help ensure
