3. 2023-2024 BIENNIAL BUDGET WORKSHOP
a. City Council Budget Deliberations
Finance Director Steve Groom presented the proposed adjustments to the Mayor's
budget based on previous feedback from Council.
Council raised numerous questions regarding the proposed costs for the shopping cart
mediation program; senior resource guide printing, Sister City planning; and the Joint
Maintenance and Operations Facility.
Staff provided responses to the questions asked. Mayor Ferrell supported the
suggestion to allocate funds to the Sister City outreach; he recommended the formation
of an Ad -Hoc Committee which would also include the Chamber.
It was suggested the shopping cart program would require more funds in the first year,
than the years following due to start-up costs for the program; perhaps a portion of the
second -year funds could be moved to fund a Sister City program.
Finance Director Groom captured the Council feedback and will incorporate
adjustments into the information presented at the next meeting.
