<br />In summary, the Commission should plan that there will be little additional resources <br />available from the City of Circle Pines as they move forward. <br /> <br />The City Council appreciates the work that the Department did in providing additional <br />information related to budget alternatives. The actual expenditures in years that are <br />available, plus the current budget and the proposed budget, were helpful in looking at <br />trends. We request that in future years' budgets we be provided with an additional <br />colUmn that would show the amount of change over the previous years' budget. In <br />addition, since budgets are plans of what the City, or in this case the Department, hopes <br />to accomplish for the coming year, it would be helpful if additional details discussing <br />those plans would be available. An example of that would be the Training Budget, which <br />has shown an increase from $10,000 to $15,000. A discussion 0 f new or required <br />training, or its cost as well as existing training would be helpful for councils to <br />understand what the Department plans and why the change is necessary. <br /> <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br /> <br />On behalf of the City Council, <br /> <br /> <br />JWK/mh <br /> <br />Cc/City Council Members - <br />
