Interim City Manager's Proposed 2007-2008 Budget

Below is a highlighted copy of the letter from the Interim City Manager regarding the proposed FY 2007-2008 budget. I attended the meeting last night. Mr. Baldwin read this as his presentation to the Mayor, Commissioners, staff and public present.

The letter, contained in the proposed budget document, is a good summary of the basic guiding philosophies that were used in its preparation. The document contains a series of organizational charts and it is clear that the City will undergo a restructuring over the next year, resulting in changes to many departments. Hopefully, this will result in improved delivery of municipal services.

The next workshop where the Commission will discuss the proposed budget is scheduled for August 15. Between now and then, I'll be posting items that I discover in review of the proposed budget. I'll also deal with them on my Truth Matters show on Sundays.
