City of Boulder
City Council
At the end of each year, the Boulder City Council asks members of the city's boards and
commissions to provide input on the next year's goals and objectives in order to help Council and
the city staff prepare the annual work plan at the January city council retreat. In the past, some
board and commission members have found the questions too narrowly focused. Because you
are leaders in our community, and you are certainly aware of a spectrum of issues, this year we
decided to broaden the questions, seeking input in any area where you have views.
Please see below this year's questions. You need not limit your responses to the area of expertise
of your board/commission. Your entire board/commission may provide a single set of responses
or, if you prefer, each member can provide his or her own responses (if the latter, please submit
all of the member responses in a single packet). So that Council may have the benefit of your
views before its pre-retreat Study Session on January 9, please deliver your responses to your
board secretary no later than the close of business on Friday, December 15.
Sincerely,
Lisa Morzel
Bob Yates
Council Retreat Committee
1. How do you think the City can improve its public engagement process? How would you
recommend that Council engage with the community?
2. What do you think the Citys top three priorities should be in 2018?
3. What do you think will be the Citys three biggest challenges over the next five years, and
how should we address them?
