Item No. 14 <br />memorandum <br />TO: Mayor & City Council <br />FROM: John Godwin, City Manager <br />SUBJECT: ANNUAL DEPARTMENT REPORTS <br />DATE: May 11, 2017 <br />BACKGROUND: As we have done the last few years, we are beginning our budget preparation <br />cycle with annual reports on each of our departments. This provides the council an opportunity <br />to learn what the departments are working on, what their major needs are, and any special issues <br />they face as we plan for the future. These priorities and needs in turn determine our budget, <br />instead of a long list of tedious line items. It also helps us think in terms of multiple years, which <br />is crucial to managing an efficient and effective overall budget and organization. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: Public Works, Utilities, Engineering, and Finance will present their <br />reports on June 12. We will address EMS, Library, Fire, and Police on June 26. <br />BUDGET: NA. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Discussion only. <br />
