The Budget and Parameter Committee recommended dates and times for the upcoming Board of Estimates meetings and authorized staff to add additional meetings if needed to complete the budget process.

Council Member Janssen moved that the committee adopt the schedule as presented, proposing a 4:00 p.m. meeting on Sept. 4 (with an alternate Sept. 5 if necessary) and a 4:00 p.m. slot for the October meeting; Council Member Calo seconded the recommendation. The committee adopted the schedule by voice vote and asked staff to add meetings if additional review is necessary to meet publication and statutory deadlines.

Committee members discussed timing and access, noting Sept. 4 falls during Labor Day week and that evening meetings might help public attendance. Staff reiterated the statutory need to publish an approved budget in October for the November approval deadline.

Ending: The schedule was approved as a recommendation; staff and the clerk will finalize locations and times and may add sessions depending on the workload and public comment.
