City Council Meeting Date: 08/31/2010 Time:  Submitted By:Mike Cooper Department:Mayor's Office Review Committee: Committee Action: Type: Information Subject Title Opening Remarks Recommendation from Mayor and Staff N/A Previous Council Action Narrative This is a special budget workshop called by the Mayor.  It is the first in a series of stakeholder conversations to be held in the process of developing the 2011 budget. The staff and Mayor will provide council with the preliminary compilation of revenue projections as well as spending priorities. Council will also get historical information from each department that will highlight the services we provide and the cost of doing business.  The goal is to provide council with the information currently available to the Mayor and to collect feedback from council, creating a more collaborative budget development process. Please note that this is not a presentation of the Mayor’s preliminary budget, but rather an exercise of providing current information and collecting council input. In closing, this is a conversation between elected and hired city leaders; the Council, staff and Mayor. The public is invited to attend, but there is no public comment period set aside in this early stage of information synthesis.
