BACKGROUND
Annually, the Cultural Commission has considered three to five specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound workplan goals and/or activities for the Fiscal Year (FY).

The City now aims to align the Boards, Commission, and Committee (BCC's) workplan goals to the City Council goals on an annual cycle. The new process aims to provide:
Clear Prioritization
Each board and commission will have a defined set of objectives, making it easier for Council to assess progress and allocate staff resources efficiently.
Enhanced Transparency
Workplans will provide greater visibility into the activities and goals of advisory bodies, fostering stronger communication and accountability.
Improved Coordination
By aligning the efforts of staff and BCC's, the workplan is intended to effectively promote enhanced collaboration on citywide initiatives.
Informed Decision-Making
With a clear roadmap of each group's priorities, the City Council will be better equipped to make decisions that support both short-term needs and long-term strategic goals.
