The City Manager observed that with limited staffing resources available, affirming Council priorities and ensuring a shared understanding of what can be accomplished is essential. The initiatives identified as a "high priority" by three or more Councilmembers were the focus of discussion at the workshop. For those initiatives, Nancy asked Councilmembers to discuss what they would consider to be success and what can be accomplished in the next year. Table 1 summarizes the discussion. Table 1.
