File Number: 22-480 Department including a description of their core service delivery, some of their challenges and a high-level summary of how they will respond given more or less resources. The Task Force created several Ad Hoc committees, to better accomplish their work in a timely manner and dive into particular topics of interest. The committees included: Shared Values, Participatory Budgeting, Revenue Enhancement, and Summarizing Final Recommendations for the City Council. On March 22, 2021, the Task Force presented their top eleven recommendations to the City Council. The recommendations range from a navigation center, police oversight, funding for building and street maintenance, a community engagement plan for budget development, to an ambassador program. The full list of recommendations that were presented to Council is attached to this staff report (Attachment B). Please refer to the list for details. After receiving the presentation, the City Council provided feedback and gave staff direction to review the recommendations. Staff worked internally to review the recommendations and assessed those currently in progress, ones requiring funding, the timing of possible implementation, and the internal capacity to accomplish the recommendations. Funding Allocations On April 26, 2021, as part of the 2021-23 preliminary budget presentation, staff presented the recommendations with proposed funding allocations and received feedback from the City Council. Resource allocations for funded recommendations are included in the 2021-23 budget that was adopted by the City Council in June 2021. These programs are presented in Attachment C. The table presents the funded recommendations, lead departments, allocation amounts, and the implementation status. The implementation of certain recommendations would only require internal resources such as staff’s time. Therefore, budget allocations were not required. Due to resource constraints and limited staffing capacity, certain recommendations were not funded or partially funded in the current budget cycle including reallocating certain activities from sworn officers to other experts . More studies would be required to determine the appropriate structure or change. The recommendation regarding participatory budgeting is partially funded with funding for an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, and a plan is in development to conduct robust community engagement and outreach during the budget development process. Implementation Status Attachment C to the staff report presents the implementation status for each program. Some programs have been implemented and some programs are in the development/implementation stage. Please note that an update regarding Task Force recommendation implementation status was presented to the Finance Committee in November 2021. Below is the implementation status for selected projects. Please refer to Attachment C for more details.
