8.g)3) Set Meeting Dates for Work Sessions on the 2013 Budget and CIP Meeting Date: 4/17/2012 Agenda Item: � � z.� � City Council Agenda Report City of Scandia 14727 209�' St. North Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274 Action Requested: Set meeting dates for work sessions on the 2013 budget and CIP, and consider other changes to the 2012 meeting calendar. Deadline/Timeline: Preliminary 2013 tax levy must be certified by September 15, 2012. Background: • The Council typically holds several work sessions to discuss the draft budget and Capital Improvement Program (CIP)before setting the preliminary maximum property tax levy for the coming year. This year, without a Capital Improvement Committee,the Council will probably need an additional work session or two early in the process. Budget sessions may also be needed after the levy is certified, but before the budget is finalized. • Staff has identified possible meeting dates, shown on the draft 2013 budget schedule, attached. (The dates in November and December should be considered preliminary until more guidance from the county and state is available.) • We have also found a conflict in the Council's adopted meeting schedule, with the August Work Session meeting set for the same date as the Primary Election (August 14.) That date will need to be changed. • The Council may also wish to consider whether or not to cancel the June 12 Work Session meeting. The Administrator will be on vacation during that week. Recommendation: I recommend that the Council set dates for budget and CIP work sessions. You may wish to designate one of the CIP work sessions for a meeting with the residents of Melanie Trail to discuss options for their street. I also recommend you select an alternate date for the August 14 Work Session meeting(either Monday or Tuesday of that week) and determine whether or not to cancel the June 12 Work Session meeting.
