Background:
Attached is an initial 2013 budget calendar for Council and staff planning purposes. The dates
may be modified as the process proceeds, and this may require changes to the initial dates.
The Five Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for construction and improvement projects is
currently being prepared by the Public Works and Engineering staff, and as in previous years,
the projects in the CIP for 2013 and future years will be built into the planned budget in the
appropriate funds (Capital and Enterprise funds).
Internal budget discussions with City departments have been initiated and these will continue
into June and July, as staff is reviewing and revising many of the procedures that develop the
budget information that will be will be presented to Council in August. Many of the goals and
objectives that have been recently developed and integrated into recent Council work sessions
will be integrated into the specific departments and programs that will compose the 2013 and
beyond budget plans. Emphasis during the early budget planning will be on a more integrated
budget that can provide Council and the community with programs and initiatives that meet the
changing needs and expectations of this growing and vital community.
The City will be receiving data from the State, County and other governmental entities as well as
the annual guidance from the League of Minnesota Cites, which annually provides an excellent
resource in the "Budget Guide for Cities". The information from these groups will assist in
providing the needed data for budget discussions and policy decisions.
