Background and Analysis:
Each year, all advisory committees submit a work plan 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 work plan for committee consideration as well as a draft 2016 budget calendar. Even allowing for two meetings a month your work plan is aggressive. It should be noted the November committee meeting falls on a holiday and you may want to reschedule.
The calendar for the 2016 Operating Budget is also included for discussion.
