Proposed Study Issue Presentation Dates Approved by Council
Since the January 28 workshop, staff has assessed its ability to undertake the priority issues, taking into consideration departmental workloads and available resources. The Study Issues Priorities List by Department shows the Council ranking for each new issue, and indicates the department's intended start date and Council presentation date for "above-the-line" study issues.
This year, all ranked study issues are scheduled for completion and there are no "below the line" issues.
These are tentative dates and are therefore subject to change. Be sure to review the Tentative Council Meeting Agenda Calendar (TCMAC) for an up-to-date schedule of Council meetings. Visit TCMAC.inSunnyvale.com.
