DISCUSSION
On December 2, 2014, the City Council approved the fiscal year 2015 -2016 Budget Calendar
(Calendar). The result of this approval was a transparent budget plan which included a successful
Trial Budget presentation, five Community Budget meetings with approximately 150 attendees and
a Proposed Budget presentation ahead of schedule. In an effort to build on these successes and
to meet the adopted Strategic Plan's guiding principles, goals and objectives, the Finance and
Management Services Agency in collaboration with the City Manager's Office has developed a
Calendar.
The Calendar (Exhibit 1) was developed to promote public awareness and transparency in the
development of the fiscal year 2016 -2017 Budget and Capital Improvement Plan. The Calendar
highlights key dates for the Community Budget Outreach and Strategic Plan Updates (per the
Sunshine Ordinance), Community Budget and Capital Improvement Program Hearings, and a
Work Study Session. The Calendar commences December 1, 2015 and ends with the adoption of
the fiscal year 2016 -2017 budget tentatively scheduled for June 21, 2016.
