City staff preview budget timeline ahead of early-September council submission
Summary
A city staff member said budget materials are being prepared for formal submission to the council in early September, and staff are setting early expectations with department heads about the process and forecast.
A staff member preparing budget materials told the board they are assembling a "fairly healthy update" for the council focused on forms and early expectations, and said the forecast will guide the path to formal submission in early September. "I'm working on a fairly healthy update for the council meeting... and then forecast what that process look like from here until, formal, submission to the council in early September," the staffer said.
The board heard that department heads have turned in initial budgets and that the city will use the coming weeks to set expectations and refine numbers before the formal council packet is produced. Staff indicated further updates will be provided as the submission date approaches.
