AGENDA TITLE:
Budget Calendar for Fiscal Year 2022-23
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the Budget Calendar for Fiscal Year 2022-23.
DISCUSSION
Under the direction and leadership of the City Manager, a Budget Calendar (“Calendar”)
has been developed by the Finance & Management Services Agency. The Calendar
(Exhibit 1) is provided for City Council consideration as a guiding document that provides
for a successful and transparent budget process. The proposed Calendar provides a
framework of key tasks and dates for the City Council, the community, and City staff.
Financial Updates, Budget Discussions, and Process
The first major item presented to the City Council is the Mid-Year (2nd Quarter) Report to
the City Council, which is scheduled for February 15, 2022. The Mid-Year Budget Report
will provide a financial update on current general fund revenues and expenditure trends,
and recommend budget adjustments and workforce changes.
Beginning in mid-March, City Staff will present a framework for the Fiscal Year 2022-23
Budget Discussion and seek direction from the City Council. The discussion topics may
include but are not limited to City Council priorities and strategies on funding
programs/services.
Community budget meetings are planned for March and April 2022 to gather community
input. During this time, the Budget Team will also begin conducting budget hearings with
city departments. These hearings will provide departments an opportunity to propose any
organizational changes, budget requests, and enhancements to existing programs.
On May 3, 2022, staff has planned for a Third Quarter General Fund update including
updated revenue and expenditure trends, a Ten-Year General Fund Financial Outlook,
and preliminary Capital Improvement Program (CIP) update. This will also provide an
additional opportunity for further FY 2022-23 budget discussion by the City Council.

of the Citywide Operating Budget and CIP. A public hearing (first reading) is planned for
June 7, 2022 and the final adoption (second reading) will occur on June 21, 2022.
The Calendar commences on December 21, 2021, and concludes with the adoption of
the FY 2022-23 Citywide Operating Budget and CIP, which is effective July 1, 2022.
