December 15th, 2008 <br />39 <br />40 Discussion Items <br />41 The proposed calendar includes two suggested changes from the previous year. First, a separate <br />42 budget hearing would be scheduled to allow citizens or stakeholders an opportunity to speak <br />43 directly to the Council and submit any budget suggestions or recommendations. In addition, the <br />44 Council is asked to submit any requests for consideration before the City adopts the preliminary, <br />45 not-to-exceed budget in September. This is to ensure that these requests receive consideration in <br />4 6 the same manner as all other budget submittals. <br />
