REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> Date: 03/25/13 <br /> Item No.: 13.b <br />Department Approval City Manager Approval <br />Item Description: Discuss the Budget Program Prioritization Process <br />B <br />ACKGROUND <br />1 <br />At the February 25, 2013 City Council meeting, the Council adopted the 2014/2015 Budget Calendar. <br />2 <br />The calendar calls for a discussion on the budget program prioritization process to determine how the <br />3 <br />Council is going to rank its budget priorities. These budget priorities in turn will be used to develop a <br />4 <br />City Manager Recommended Budget later this year. <br />5 <br />6 <br />A similar process was conducted in 2011 in advance of the development of the 2012/2013 Budget. At <br />7 <br />that time, the Council agreed to the following ranking criteria: <br />8 <br />9 <br />2012/2013BudgetProgramRankingCriteria <br />10 <br />11 <br />Onascaleof1(lowest)to5(highest),eachprogram/functionshouldberatedbasedon <br />12 <br />howimportantoreffectiveitisinachievingthecommunity'svisionandgoalsasexpressed <br />13 <br />inImagineRoseville2025,the2030ComprehensivePlan,andtheParks&Recreation <br />14 <br />MasterPlan. <br />15 <br />16 <br />Inassigningtheratings,thefollowingshouldbeconsidered: <br />17 <br />18 <br />Howdoestheprogram/functionestablishandmaintainourcommunity'soverallhigh <br />19 <br />qualityoflife,ensurethehealthandwellbeingofourcitizens,and/orcontributetothe <br />20 <br />economicandenvironmentalwellbeingofRoseville? <br />21 <br />22 <br />Howdoestheprogram/functionhelptoensurethatcityservicesmeetindustrybest <br />23 <br />practicestandardswhichcontributetotheachievementofthecommunityvisionand <br />24 <br />goals? <br />25 <br />26 <br />Howdoestheprogram/functionensurethatcityservicesareprovidedinthemostcost <br />27 <br />effectivemannerpossible,whilestillproducingmeasurableresultstowardachievingthe <br />28 <br />communityvisionandgoals? <br />29 <br />30 <br />It is suggested that the Council consider these criteria or an alternative ranking methodology. <br />31 <br />32 <br />33 <br />Page 1 of 3 <br /> <br />
