Each year the City Council reviews and selects annual priorities at their Council Retreat, which usually occurs in early January or February for the year ahead. A Council priority is defined as a topic that will receive significant attention during the year and typically have a three-year time limit, although some may continue beyond that time.
The 2023 Priorities, as selected at the City Council’s Annual Retreat on January 28, 2023, are:
- Economic Recovery & Transition
- Climate Change & Natural Environment – Protection & Adaptation
- Housing for Social & Economic Balance
- Community Health & Safety
Progress reports and workplans for each of these priorities can be found at www.cityofpaloalto.org/councilpriorities. In addition, the community can find past priorities and other updates on past efforts. The City values your feedback. Input received through this platform will be provided to the City Council in preparation for their annual meeting in early 2024.
Please share your thoughts by Tuesday, January 2, 2024.
