Council sets budget-work-session timing and requests department presentations on fees and fines
Summary
Council agreed to begin budget work sessions on Tuesdays, with the first session to focus on fees and fines; staff will distribute hard-copy materials (fees & fines) to council members ahead of the session and meet with department heads.
The Pocomoke City Council scheduled budget work sessions and identified fees and fines as the first topic for review.
Council discussed meeting-day preferences and settled on Tuesdays for work sessions; council members noted some schedule constraints and said sessions could start around 7:00 p.m. The city manager and staff said department heads will be asked to attend and present; council asked that Ms. Matthews provide hard-copy materials on fees and fines to each elected official in advance. One council member suggested placing the fee changes under a broad "school donations" or other line-item heading if multiple schools submit requests; staff said Mr. Barkley and Ms. Matthews will coordinate.
Council asked staff to make materials available in person if necessary and agreed to begin meeting within the next one to two weeks. The first budget topic will be fees and fines, which council members said typically takes the most time to review.
