08 December 1999 (Council Meeting of 01- 05 -00)
Consider Action on the Citizen Budget Review
Committee (Continued from Meeting of 01 -05- 2000.)
BACKGROUND: At its meeting of November 18, 1998 the City
Council agreed to establish a Citizens Budget Advisory
Committee. At its December 16, 1998 meeting the Council
approved having the Committee consist of eleven (11)
residents and non - resident business owners. Four (4)
applications were received by the December 30, 1998
deadline. The Council asked that the matter be brought
back for consideration.
DISCUSSION: The City Council had approved the creation of
an eleven member Citizen Budget Advisory group to provide
input to the FY 99/00 budget preparation process. When
only four applications were received for the advisory
group, the Council on January 20, 1999 approved taking no
action for the FY 99/00 budget and reconsidering the idea
of an advisory group for the FY 00/01 budget cycle.
Attached is the proposed Mission Statement and Goals for
the advisory committee that were reviewed and recommended
by the Council Budget and Finance Committee. These were
presented to the Council during its consideration, but no
action was taken.
This matter was requested to be placed before the City
Council for its consideration.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Direct staff as deemed appropriate.
