The City is required to adopt an operating budget every year before the start of the new

Operating Budget since December 2017. Direction was provided to the various City
departments relative to the development of their respective departmental budgets.
Those were prepared and have been reviewed by Finance and the City Manager's
office, and following an analysis of the request in relation to the Mayor and City
Council's 2018-2019 Goals and Objectives and anticipated revenues, the City
Manager's Proposed Budget was developed for consideration. The purpose of this
study session is to discuss the proposed budget and provide direction to staff.
Discussion
Staffs presentation will begin with a discussion of the key City revenues that provide the
primary support of City operations, and provide FY 2018/19 budget highlights for each
department.
