The session focused on a presentation regarding the annual Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Staff proposed significant changes to the current adoption process, including removing the CIP from the comprehensive plan and establishing it as a standalone document. This adjustment aims to reduce administrative burdens, legal filings, and the necessity of planning commission review. Additionally, the staff recommended shifting the council's adoption schedule to earlier in the year to facilitate better planning. The council expressed broad support for these process improvements.
