Staff would like to receive direction from the City Council related to planning and project prioritization for a proposed May 2020 bond election.

Some questions:

-Would the City Council like to appoint a specific Citizens Bond Committee or use public Town Hall-type meetings to solicit community feedback?

-Is the City Council interested in identifying projects to be funded within the existing tax rate (estimated $30 million in the next few years), or should a total that includes a tax rate increase be explored?

-How much in projects should be brought to voters in May 2020?

-How should we approach balancing project types-facilities, streets, parks, etc.?
