Title
2018 BUDGET UPDATE - DEPARTMENTAL REQUESTS
Background
At the July 20 workshop, staff will present for Council review and discussion an overview of the 2018 General Fund Budget that incorporates initial departmental requests.
At the budget workshop of June 8, Council reviewed progress on the 2018 General Fund Budget as well as the budget schedule for the remainder of the year. Pursuant to that schedule, staff will present for Council’s review the departmental requests that are currently under City Manager review. The review will be based on the service assumptions and the priority-based budgeting methods that the City employs. The City Manager and staff will be reviewing division level responsibilities and identifying programs and activities that fall within the City’s budgetary guiding principles. Requests will also be considered relative to their fit in the City’s five-year budget model.
Recommendation
Upon review of the departmental requests, provide comment and direction regarding prioritization of the 2018 budget.
