Issue:
Approval of Finance Committee Work Plan for 2014
Staff Contact:
Jane Kirkemo, Administrative Services Director, 360.753.8499
Background and Analysis:
Each year, all advisory committees submit a workplan to the City Council for review. The Finance Committee typically submits a "skeleton" for review, allowing time at each meeting to respond to emerging issues. Attached is a draft workplan for committee consideration as well as a draft 2015 budget calendar. It should be noted the November committee meeting falls on a council vacation week. Last year the committee agreed to meet with Advisory Boards regarding their Capital Facilities Plan comments. A suggestion was made that the meeting should be on a separate date to allow the maximum amount of discussion.
The calendar for the 2015 Operating Budget is also included for discussion.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
The Community Neighborhood Association did not express interest in sponsoring any forums this year but will participate in any other public engagement processes.
Options:
1) Approve the 2014 workplan for the Finance Committee.
2) Amend the workplan by adding additional items.
