Memorandum
TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem & City Council
FROM: Grayson Path, City Manager
SUBJECT: Budget Approval
Schedule Public Hearings
DATE: August 23, 2021
BACKGROUND:
During the August 9, 2021 City Council Meeting as well as the August 12, 2021 City Council
Budget Workshop, the City Council heard presentations regarding the Proposed FY21/22 Budget
as prepared by the City Manager, Department Heads and Staff. The City Manager issued a
Memorandum summarizing the Proposed FY21/22 Budget on July 26, 2021 which was
summarized and presented at the August 9�h Council Meeting. A more detailed presentation was
given at the August 121h Budget Workshop that examined key expenses by department. The
Proposed FY21/22 Budget is for October 1, 2021 — September 30, 2022.
STATUS OF ISSUE:
The City Council has asked many good questions throughout these last two meetings, staff have
attempted to provide answers to each question. If there is a question that has not been answered,
please let us know and we will get the answer to the Council. Otherwise, the Proposed FY21/22
Budget has not been adjusted since the initial presentation. The City Council has the authority to
request edits tonight. This agenda item is dedicated to further discussing the budget, asking
questions, making any edits the Council deems appropriate, and preparing it for the following
agenda items where the City will approve a Resolution declaring a Property Tax Rate and Public
Hearings for the Proposed FY21/22 Budget and Property Tax Rate.
Depending on the types of changes made by the City Council tonight (if any), the Staff may need
to adjust the next agenda items to account for the change in the proposed Property Tax Rate. City
Staff might be able to make that adjustment tonight if a short recess is granted.
