Each <br />Commission is also supported by a staff liaison and City Council <br />liaison. The May 2nd Work Session is a joint meeting between the <br />City Council and Commission Chairs/Vice Chairs to review annual <br />work plans, excluding Planning Commission since their work is <br />clearly directed by Council and statutory requirements. <br /> <br />The Chair and/or Vice Chair of each Commission will present the <br />2023-2024 interests and anticipated meeting topics for their <br />respective Commission. Presenters will rotate every 15 minutes as <br />follows: <br />• Economic Development Commission <br />• Parks, Recreation, and Environmental Commission <br />• Public Safety Commission <br />• Equity Commission <br />Background: A Commissioner Satisfaction Survey was issued in February 2023 to <br />ensure Commissioners are feeling valued and solicit feedback on <br />Commissions in general as staff began thinking about 2023-2024 <br />Commission work plans. A few highlights: <br />• All respondents reported that they enjoy their role as <br />Commissioner and feel they are treated respectfully. <br />• Commissioners were very complimentary of staff liaisons, <br />Council liaisons, and other staff, with one respondent saying <br />they “always do an outstanding job.”
