City Council Budget Work Session Agenda - Monday, May 4, 2020
COUNCIL AND CITY MANAGER WILL TAKE COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS REGARDING THE BUDGET RECONCILIATION LIST
The reconciliation list is a list of potential changes to the City Manager’s proposed budget that are under consideration by the Council. The reconciliation list includes both potential cuts and additions to the budget. This year because of the COVID-19 crisis and the uncertainty it brings, there will likely be more items on the reconciliation list than in prior years. Council will be discussing the reconciliation list after public input and determining changes to the proposed budget for the first vote on May 13th.
Sign-up to speak (by 3:00 PM on May 4) will be required. Questions and comments can be sent to the City Clerk and they will be provided to Council before the discussion. Comments may also be sent directly to the Mayor and Council.
Sign-up for Live Questions/Comments on the Reconciliation List Only
