Budget committee finalizes presenters, time limits and slides for public hearing
Summary
Committee assigned presenters to specific budget sections, asked staff for short narratives for high‑impact items and set a near-term deadline so handouts and slides can be printed before the public hearing and deliberative session.
Committee members volunteered to present specific pages and topical slides at the public hearing and deliberative session and agreed on a short time frame for remarks so the meeting does not run excessively long.
Staff (speaker 5) said he will produce a slide deck showing operating and enterprise funds, noted drivers such as collective bargaining, ambulance staffing and insurance increases, and asked committee members to submit short narratives for high‑impact items by the stated deadline. "We traditionally will have a stand alone slide for the water fund that breaks out those costs," he said, and asked presenters to focus on drivers rather than line‑by‑line minutiae. Committee members recommended 2–3 minutes per presenter for most items and asked that staff provide a one‑page summary and handouts for the deliberative session.
Staff agreed to circulate an updated presentation by 9:00 the morning before the public hearing and to confirm the final presenter list and slide deck. Department heads will attend the public hearing to answer technical questions.
