(304) MINUTE ORDER 06 -53 C. Priority Setting Session (continued from February 6, 2006) Mayor Pierce introduced the session with an understanding of accomplishments and challenges over 2005 and stated some of the many accomplishments that have hit on the areas of importance to both the residents and the City Council. She stated that the policy of the Council over the last few years of budget deficits has worked to make cuts within our programs and use reserves. Going into the next budget cycle, the budget is status quo, there are no additional resources. Any priorities that demand resource allocation must be made up from taking funds from something else, developing new revenues or tapping into reserves. Facilitator Shauna Wilson of PCRC stated that the first phase is the opportunity for each Council Member to champion a theme or an area of concern. Discussion might occur on what may need to be addressed immediately and some items that may need postponing or elimination. Ongoing focus long term items should be discussed. Public Comment: Larry Aikens, representing the Port of Redwood City, urged the City to make establishment of a ferry service in Redwood City a priority and one that is viewed completely separate from rail transit. He stated that the Port would like to assist in making it a priority that is easy to attain and that Council Member Howard has worked diligently since 1998 to bring the future ferry service to the city. He explained the work done so far and three potential sites have been identified. JOINT CITY COUNCIUREDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MARCH 13, 2006 MEETING MINUTES PAGE 7 MINUTE BOOK NO. 61 Page No. 127
