Department directors will be available to answer questions.
Background and Analysis:
City departments have submitted their 2016 operating budgets. We are not financially able to fund most of the critical needs requested. Some utility or other revenue-funded requests will be included in the preliminary budget. Staff wanted the Finance Committee to have an understanding of what will not be included in the budget. If funds become available in 2016 then we can continue the discussion.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
There is strong community interest in the Community Planning critical needs, as well as most of the Police critical needs.
Options:
This item is for information and discussion only.
Financial Impact:
The total amount unfunded is $1,070,043.
