AGENDA

1. 23-0130 Budget Work Session - City Manager's Recommended FY 2024

Budget

City Manager, Mary Bunting shared that Council would make the final adoption of

the City Manager’s Recommended Approved Budget with any changes they wished

to make at the evening meeting. She commented that she is very proud of the

budget team, which was in the audience, as well as the various department heads

and Assistant City Managers for all their hard work. She also expressed appreciation

for the community’s attendance at the I-value budget sessions held this year.

Ms. Bunting addressed two changes that were proposed to the employee benefits

budget which do not require a budget amendment. She stated that, in addition to this

afternoon’s briefing, she would also address them at the evening meeting for the

benefit of the public, and so the record reflects the agreement that has been

reached in terms of the staff recommendations to the Council.
