Parker council sets budget workshop schedule amid warning of reduced state revenue
Summary
Council members approved public budget workshop dates (August 17, optional August 20, September 10, final reading September 24) after staff warned state revenue-sharing will be lower this year; council discussed adding another August session.
The Parker City Council approved a schedule of public budget workshops and a final reading date as staff warned the city's state revenue share will be reduced this year.
Mayor Kelly told the council the departments submitted conservative budgets and that "the revenue share from the state this year is gonna be reduced. Suzanne has told me it's gonna be reduced." Staff proposed workshop dates and the council agreed to hold the first budget workshop on August 17, add an optional second workshop on August 20 if needed, hold a September 10 session and set the final reading for September 24. The council voted to adopt the schedule by roll call.
Members discussed whether an extra August workshop should be scheduled as a placeholder even if it might not be needed; the mayor noted the clerk would have to advertise any additional meeting. No budget figures or department-specific line items were discussed at the meeting; the council set dates to ensure the process meets the city's timeline for an October 1 budget implementation.
