4.b) 2012 Budget Meeting Date: 08/09/2011
Agenda Item: � �
City Council Agenda Report
City of Scandia
14727 209`�' St. North
Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274
Action Requested: Hold your first work session on the Draft 2012 Budget and 2012-2016
Capital Improvement Program (CIP.)
Deadline/Timeline: See page 1 of the Budget Overview for a complete schedule.
Background: • Staff has prepared draft budgets and CIP for the Council's review.
• The first decision point will be adoption of a preliminary,
maximum tax levy at the September 13 work session. The
Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on the draft CIP
at their November 1 meeting, with final adoption of the budget,
tax levy and CIP at the December 20 Council meeting (tentative
dates.)
Recommendation: I recommend that for this first work session, that staff give the
Council an overview of the information in the budget book. Then, it
would be helpful if the Council would identify:
• any overall goals or objectives you might want to accomplish
as part of developing the budget and CIP;
• specific items on which you may want more background
information or alternatives, andlor
• dates on which you might want to discuss any particular items
for which we may want additional staff or public present. For
example, you might choose a date to discuss the Fire
Department budget so that the officers can plan to attend.
Additional work sessions are scheduled through the fall. You may
wish to concentrate on the General Fund budgets first, and then deal
with the other funds (such as the 201 and Uptown Sewer System
budgets) that are not as critical to setting the preliminary tax levy.
