ITEMS TO DELETE
PUBLIC COMMENT
GENERAL FUND BUDGET PREVIEW - FY 2013-2014
Council Priorities
A Special Meeting of the City Council was held for a General Fund Budget Preview For Fiscal Year 2013-
2014 and for Council to discuss their priorities. The following is a list that Council indicated are their core
priorities:
Fiscal Sustainability
Public Safety
Economic Development
From the core priorities discussion other priorities branched out, however, without fiscal sustainability
none of them would be possible. Council had discussion regarding a tax measure being brought forward
to the voters as a fiscal enhancement. As a result of the discussion Council directed staff to agendize the
consideration of establishing a Budget Advisory Committee to assist the Council with evaluating the
proposed budget alternatives for Fiscal Year 2013-14. It was also requested that staff look into the
possibility of having a Volunteer Coordinator Director that can be in charge of the volunteers that would
assist staff with day to day functions.
