Regular Meeting Authorization
REQUEST: City Manager requesting the City Commission to receive a presentation on the status of the
City's FY 2011 Budget and to set workshop dates for a "Town Hall" Budget workshop and Commission
Budget workshop(s) for review of the FY 2011 Budget.
SYNOPSIS: The City Manager would like to advise the Commission of the status of the City's FY 2011 budget
and request the Commission set workshop dates for a "Town Hall" Budget workshop and Commission Budget
workshop(s) for review of the FY 2011 Budget.
CONSIDERATIONS:
As you know, several significant and unprecedented challenges were faced by the City in preparing and balancing
our FY 2010 budget. Some of those challenges were anticipated to recur in preparation of the City's FY 2011
budget (e.g., property tax base decline). Thus, staff put a plan into place last year in anticipation of these budget
challenges for FY 2011. The City Manager wishes to update the Commission on the status of our plan and
strategies for balancing the FY 2011 budget.
Additionally, the City Manager requests the Commission set workshop dates for a "Town Hall" Budget workshop
(as previously discussed) and for Commission Budget workshop(s) for review of the FY 2011 Budget. The City
Manager will transmit, per Charter, the Proposed FY 2011 Budget on or before July 1, 2010. Thus, it is requested
that workshops be set for a date after July 1 (consistent with past practice). Additionally, the Commission
previously discussed holding the "Town Hall" workshop after presentation of the City Manger's preliminary
Budget overview (occurring as part of this Agenda Item) and before Commission Workshops on the FY 2011
Budget.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
COMMUNICATION EFFORTS:
Communication efforts for the "Town Hall" Budget workshop are provided in Agenda Item 203.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Manager recommends that the City Commission receive a presentation on the status of the City's FY
2011 budget and set workshop dates for a "Town Hall" Budget workshop and Commission Budget workshop(s)
for review of the FY 2011 Budget.
