20 - Annual Departmental ReportsItem No. 20
TO: Mayor & Council
FROM: John Godwin, City Manager
SUBJECT: ANNUAL DEPARTMENT REPORTS
DATE: June 14, 2019
BACKGROUND: As we have done the last several years, we are beginning our budget
preparation cycle with annual reports from 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, Community Development, Utilities, and Finance will
presented their reports on June 10. We will address EMS, Police, Fire, and Library on June 24.
BUDGET: NA.
RECOMMENDATION: Discussion only
