30 minutes CASE #I0: <br /> <br />By: <br /> <br /> 1988 BUDGET <br />David Hartley, City Administrator <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />At the Council's meeting of October 6, 1987, a resolution was passed setting <br />the tax levy for 1988. However, the expenditure budget has not been adopted. <br />The topic of 1988 budget will remain on the Council's agenda until adopted. <br /> <br />Thus far, the Council has reviewed the overall budget, the various funds and <br />how they work and received comments relating to specific programs/projects. <br /> <br />As a way of defining what the budget means, the Council may wish to identify <br />what services we now provide and what services are being considered. To aid <br />the Council, the enclosed list attempts to identify these services. <br /> <br />Next, we should identify how well we are providing those services. <br /> <br />Lastly, the Council can decide where it wants to spend it's financial resources <br />to either improve a service, add a service, reduce a service, etc. <br /> <br />As the Council reviews the budget and considers how the Council would like to <br />provide the various services, you may want to read the brief report entitled <br />"Reduce Expenses Without Reducing Services". The outline on the last page of <br />this report is an outline which the Council may wish to follow in developing <br />the budget. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Council action will be to discuss. <br /> <br />Note: This topic (budget) will be on the agenda at every Council meeting until <br />adopted. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br />Administrator <br />Attorney <br />Engineer <br />Community Development Director <br /> <br />X <br /> <br />Chief of Police <br />Finance Officer <br />Public Works Superintendent <br />Other <br /> <br /> <br />
