Council agrees Feb. 15 deadline for mayor's proposed budget; law director to amend ordinance
Summary
Council discussed Ordinance No. 2022-16, which amends the code to require the mayor to provide a proposed budget each year, and agreed the submission deadline should be Feb. 15, 2022. Law Director Brad Bryan will make the amendment and place the revised ordinance on the next agenda.
Council considered Ordinance No. 2022-16, an emergency ordinance amending Section 230.04 of the codified ordinances to set a deadline for the mayor to provide a proposed budget to Council each year.
Law Director Brad Bryan read the ordinance by title. Council moved to suspend the three-reading rule and approved that motion. A motion to adopt the ordinance was made by Councilmember Renell Noack and seconded by Jesse Ferko. During discussion Council agreed the deadline for submitting the draft budget to Council should be Feb. 15, 2022. Brad Bryan said he would make that amendment and have the amended ordinance placed on the agenda for the next Council meeting.
Why it matters: enshrining a submission deadline seeks to clarify timeline expectations for Council's review of the mayor’s proposed budget. The ordinance will be amended per Council discussion and re-presented for formal action in a future session.
Next steps: Law Director Brad Bryan will amend the ordinance language to set Feb. 15 as the deadline and place the amended draft on the next council agenda for further action recorded in the minutes.
