City Commission Retreat - Part II - Priorities

The following is how the City Commission ranked the identified issues as priorities for the rest of the year. It seemed to me like these were meant to the be the focus during the creation of the budget for the next fiscal year. These priorities would run through the time the present Commission is seated - or November of this year.

Here they are. Points assigned in parentheses, ties where indicated
  1. Crime (63 points)
  2. Image (54)
  3. Customer Service (51)
  4. Administrative Reform (48)
  5. Renew Recreation (45) - tie
  6. Implementation of Climate Change Recommendations (45) - tie
  7. Day Labor (Cultural Resource) Center (41)
  8. Self-sufficiency Utilities (39)
