FROM: George Caravalho, City Manager
DATE: April 6, 1999
SUBJECT: Pre -Budget Session
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council participate in the pre -budget session and discuss the proposed budget review
schedule.
BACKGROUND
The 1999/2000 Budget process is underway. Staff will be presenting the proposed budget to
the City Council at the May 11 City Council Meeting. In preparation for the budget
process, it would be valuable to have a pre -budget session to discuss the following items:
City Funding
How is the City funded? What are its key revenue sources and how have they changed over
the past eleven years? What are some key funding issues facing cities in general? Are
there any threats to cities' revenues on the horizon?
Unfunded Capital Projects
There are many needed capital improvement projects that have been identified for the
future. Due to the City's limited resources, the challenge lies in funding these projects.
The Council will be given an "Unfunded Capital Projects Catalogue", and asked to prioritize
the identified projects, in order to give staff instruction on where to direct resources in the
upcoming fiscal years.
