COMBINED CITY COUNCIL AND REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY - BUDGET WORKSHOP
To ensure that the preparation of the operating budget
by staff corresponds to the objectives of Council, the
workshop began with a discussion of basic philosophical
assumptions used in the development of the budget docu-
ments. These include: 1) continuation of the current
• compensation policy for City employees (placing them at
or about the median of survey cities); 2) maintaining
an appropriate mix of in-house vs contract services;
3) maintenance of existing service levels; 4) the
tradition of a lean staff; and 5) striving for self-
sufficiency of fee -supported programs to the "maximum
desired" extent. Assistant to the City Manager Wylie
presented an overview of the budget structure.
Recess Mayor Jennings recessed the City Council at 12:40 pm
for a lunch break. Council/Agency reconvened at 1:15 pm
with all members present.
Discussions continued with an overview of the projected
revenues for the next two fiscal years. Council pre-
sented suggestions for new programs or enhanced levels
of service. The discussions focused on youth oriented
programs, CIP set -aside funds, and level of public
safety services. Ideas for reductions in expenditures
and ideas to enhance the City's revenue base were offered
by Council.
Councilmember McFadden left the meeting at 4:00 pm.
