Memorandum
DATE: August 27, 2012
TO: Mayor and Council
Anne Norris, City Manager
FROM: Charles Hansen, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Setting the Date for Discussion, Public Input and Adoption of the
Final 2013 Budget and Tax Levy.
Background:
The City Council must announce a date, time and place for the budget and tax
levy to be discussed, for citizens to have the opportunity to speak on the budget
and where the final budget and tax levy will be adopted. This may be at a
regularly scheduled meeting between November 24 and December 28, 2012.
Discussion:
The 2012 City Council meeting schedule shows regular meetings on Tuesday,
December 4th and Tuesday December 18th. Either of these meetings could be
used as the time for budget and tax levy to be discussed, citizen input allowed,
and final adoption of the budget and tax levy.
This was briefly discussed at the August 23rd work session and it was tentatively
decided to use the December 4th meeting for the budget discussions and
actions. If needed, the adoption of the 2013 budget and tax levy can be
continued to the December 18th meeting.
City Council Actions:
I recommend that discussion, public input and adoption of the final 2013 budget
and tax levy take place at a public hearing at 7:00 P.M., on Tuesday, December
4, 2012, at City Hall. The public hearing could be held at the meeting on
Tuesday, December 18, 2012 as an alternative, except that if the meeting is on
the 18th, there isn’t another meeting to continue it to. Final decisions would have
to be made that night unless a special meeting was scheduled prior to December
28th.
A motion is required to set a date, time and place for a public hearing for
discussion of, public input on and adoption of the final 2013 budget and tax levy.
