16 - Annual Department ReportsItem No, 16
TO: Mayor & Council
FROM: John Godwin, City Manager
SUBJECT: ANNUAL DEPARTMENTREPORTS
DATE: May 30, 201
BACKGROUND: As we have done the last several years, we are beginning our budget
preparation cycle with annual reports on each of our departments. This provides the council an
opportunity to learn what the departments are working on, what their major needs are, and any
special issues they face as we plan for the future. These priorities and needs in turn determine
our budget, instead of a long list of tedious line items. It also helps us to think in terms of
multiple years, which is crucial to managing an efficient and effective overall budget and
organization.
STATUS OF ISSUE: Public Works., Engineering. Utilities, and Finance will present their
reports on June 11. We will address EMS, Police, Fire, and I..,ibrary on June 25.
