Council approves final study issues
At its Jan. 23 meeting, the Sunnyvale City Council approved the final designation of issues to be studied by the city staff in 2001. Council members first ranked their priorities on Dec. 14, after holding a public hearing on Nov. 28. Staff considered these rankings while also considering the amount of time and resources they had available to focus on each issue. As a result, staff narrowed council's 17 most important issues down to nine staff thought they could manage. A list of these new issues, along with issues that are continued from last year, is available on the city's website at http://www.ci.sunnyvale.ca.us.
