Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 20, 2017 Page 26 September rather than mid -year, including meeting with the Finance Commission in September representing a great time to receive their timely recommendations. Councilmember McGehee stated that she was happy with those two changes. At the request of Mayor Roe, Mr. Miller advised that the Finance Commission had yet to review this proposed schedule. Mayor Roe suggested that they plug any additional thoughts into the process, especially when they preferred to pro- vide their feedback, whether in September or at an earlier opportunity as well that might inform the budgetary goals scheduled for July 17, 2017. Mayor Roe clari- fied that the CIP review in May was intended only as its initial presentation and not its adoption. Mayor Roe suggested an added item before year-end to adopt the final budget, tax levy and CIP and utility rates. Councilmember McGehee suggested eliminating the additional December meet- ing, with Mayor Roe suggesting that the schedule could be adjusted as the year progressed and based on business to be conducted. Specific to information needs, Mayor Roe stated his preference for Attachment A as well as the previously provided additional detail, and as included in last year's City Manager recommended budget and its schedules A through G providing a citywide look for tax -supported and non -tax supported funds, and a more detailed breakdown of each. For easier reading, Councilmember McGehee asked for reports in larger print if and when possible, especially referencing CIP schedules. Staff confirmed the annual budget feedback post card intended for the May edi- tion of the City News newsletter. Mayor Roe referenced, in addition to Attach- ment A, short-term CIP information about those things moving in or out from one year to the next as well as the broader 5-20 year CIP. Mr. Miller advised that staff was prepared to tee up discussion on carryover funds as requested by Councilmember Willmus at the April 10, 2017 regular City Council meeting, duly noted by Mayor Roe. Mayor Roe noted that any further recommendations from the Finance Commission before that date would be wel- comed. h.
