Memorandum
TO: Mayor and Council
Mark McNeill
FROM: Gregg Voxland, Finance Director
SUBJ: 2005 Tentative Budget Calendar
DATE: May 20, 2004
Introduction
Council is asked to review a tentative calendar of events for the 2005
budget process.
Background
Attached is a tentative proposed 2005 budget calendar. Some dates will
be modified as Council's schedule unfolds and as developments warrant.
Of course, Council can change the meeting dates as desired.
The Five Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for construction projects
is already underway. It is planned that Council will have a joint
meeting with the Park Board & Planning Commission on July 20, 2004.
Projects in the CIP for 2005 will be built into the 2005 budget in the
appropriate funds (capital projects funds, sewer fund etc.).
The first council meeting on the operating budget is set for August
10th.
Staff has a lot of background information on many subjects. Council
should feel free to call department heads for information. If a short
meeting with individual Departments or on the budget in general is
desired, such as before a council meeting, please contact the City
Administrator.
The budget work sessions will begin at 5:00, unless another time is
desired by the Council.
Are there any preliminary directions Council would like to give to
staff before starting the operational budget other than the assumed
goal of increasing taxes no more than what would be generated by new
construction?
Alternatives
1. A. Accept tentative budget calendar
B. Modify tentative budget calendar
