But if we give ample time,

focus it on communicating with our residents and different stakeholders.

When I say resident, I'm including all the business owners, all the other stakeholders within the city so that they can get back to the staff as well as to the council.

Yeah, that is good.

And it should be a little bit of wider survey, basically, if I may, because sometimes our sample size is very small.

And if we can have a bigger sample size, that would be good.

But that can be one tool.

uh that survey based on priority session only items that could be good in addition we can go to communication like city managers newsletter or council members newsletter and other aspects of that that would be helpful in addition

And I really liked the idea you threw in reserving some funds for the priority sessions.

We are trying to do that this year, but if we can make it every year, because there have been some priorities which have been low hanging fruit, but we don't have the budget or constraints of budget, those things.

But if you can make it as a regular practice, whatever, like either in,

real dollars or percentage of the but general fund whatever we want to so that would be really helpful so at this stage those are my comments about it

I do agree with the committee member Park's discussion about ranking, because let's say we have a, I just take a hypothetical example.

We have million dollar to spare and we have three priorities or 10 priorities.

Now the ranking really helps us out like,

where should that bulk of that $1 million, which we have a spare to invest into the community, which of those 10 should be first funded out of that?

So from that perspective, like if there is a process to rank these, I know we had 20 priorities, but

People even say, oh, my number is 18th.

Am I 18th in the ranking or am I first on the ranking?

So that ranking can be very self-explanatory.
