Mayor and administrator outline FY19 budget process; council urged to review numbers
Summary
Mayor Hendricks and City Administrator Robertson reviewed the FY19 budget timeline and presentation approach, urging council members to 'look at the numbers and ask questions' as departments presented highlights.
Mayor Peter Hendricks opened discussion of the FY19 budget with a brief overview of the process and timing, telling the council that 'this was the time to look at the numbers and ask questions.' City Administrator Robertson said she wanted departments to present highlights only and would not go over items that were not changing for the upcoming year.
The exchange framed the meeting as a focused review of department-level changes ahead of finalizing the city’s FY19 budget. Council members used the session to ask clarifying questions about revenue projections and departmental request formats rather than to adopt budget items on the spot.
