MEMORANDUM
DATE: Wednesday, April 6, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Ken Cammilleri, City Administrator
RE: 2023 Budget and Levy Goals
This year, staff will begin the budget preparation process for 2023 a bit earlier. This means it
would be helpful for the City Council to give consideration to any significant goals or directions
that it may wish to take for the upcoming budget. These directions could include directives on
what to fund or not fund, levy and tax rate goals, and any other guidance necessary to bring
forward a budget proposal that more closely reflects your goals and interests.
I am bringing this up now mostly to get all of you to begin to consider what your vision is for
next year. We do not need an answer to these questions this evening, but should you wish to
share and discuss some of your thoughts, I wanted to give you all an earlier opportunity to do
so. There will be workshops beginning in July this year, and a capital budgeting workshop could
be scheduled as soon as May. This should provide plenty of opportunity to consider any key
areas you may want to have addressed.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
