City Council Priority Setting Workshop

Priority Setting Workshop

The City Council seeks your input on what Menlo Park should prioritize for fiscal year 2025-26. Your input is the first step and will help the City Council understand the community’s priorities. Your feedback will be presented for City Council consideration and discussion at the Priority Setting Workshop on Saturday, March 22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Written input was accepted until March 7.

Last year, the City Council identified four top priorities for fiscal year 2024-25, with the help of many community members who shared their input.

• Climate action - mitigation, adaptation and resilience
• Emergency and disaster preparedness
• Housing
• Safe routes

Activating downtown / economic development was also included as a top priority in the past.

Identifying top priorities helps the city manager create a work plan of projects for the year. Many of the projects take multiple years to plan, fund and complete.
