Julie Robison commented on foreign language communication as a goal/objective (item five). She noted that Council recently launched its Healthy Neighborhoods Initiative, and a facet of this program is staff working to communicate with non-English-speaking members of the community.

Susan Moran noted that Council’s Operations Committee approved a multipoint meeting to receive additional input on the budget. This item has been forwarded to Council on consent and will likely be approved.
