The Council should respond to public comment and make changes to the budget. The Planning Commission letter about the Capital Facilities Plan said that the City is not making enough progress on sidewalks. So it appears they will study it for a couple of years before doing anything. In addition to working on the long term policy, the Council could assign more funds for 2023 to improve ADA access and make walking routes safer. This could be simple repairs and very small projects. They don't need to stop doing anything while they discuss policy.
It seems the City continues to hire new staff but they don't evaluate programs and end some when they are no longer needed or not performing as expected. What we hear is that there are problems funding everything the Council and community wants. Adding new staffing is a big cost and this cost will continue into the future.
