Item to be presented by:
NEW BUSINESS George Caravalho
DATE: March 27, 1990
SUBJECT: FISCAL YEAR 1990-91 BUDGET STUDY SESSIONS
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
BACKGROUND:
The annual budget process is once again upon us. The various City departments
are now beginning to develop their budget requests for fiscal year 1990-91.
Budget preparation instructions and calendars have been distributed to the
departments so that the proposed 1990-91 budget can be presented to City Council
at the first regular Council meeting in May. The budget calendar is attached
for reference.
In order to meet the deadlines established by the budget calendar and have an
adopted budget by June 26, 1990, the Council needs to establish the dates for
the budget review study sessions. Dates for study sessions need to be set for
the months of May and June. Council may wish to establish three to four dates
for such purpose.
RECOMMENDATION:
Establish dates for budget review study sessions.
