City schedules May 12 budget work session; draft budget due May 8
Summary
City Manager informed commissioners a draft budget will be delivered by May 8 and a budget work session is scheduled for May 12; Mayor Staton asked staff to adjust the budget letter to avoid overstating potential deficits.
During the city manager’s report the commission was told a budget work session will follow the regular meeting on May 12, with a draft budget delivered to commissioners by Friday, May 8 so they have time for review.
Mayor Staton asked staff to revise the introductory budget letter to align the narrative with council goals and avoid alarmist framing; he said a previous letter had suggested a possible $9,000,000 deficit that he believed overstated the likely outlook.
Staff said the budget will be structured to tie initiatives to the goals established earlier in the year and that they will provide commissioners with the draft and additional context ahead of the work session.
