2021 Budget Process Timeline: continuedDate <br />Review 2021 Fee Schedule11/9/2020 <br />Final Budget Hearing (Truth-in-Taxation Hearing)11/23/2020 <br />Adopt Final EDA Tax Levy12/7/2020 <br />Adopt Final Budget, Tax Levy, Utility Rates, & Fee Schedule12/7/2020 <br />21 <br />22 <br />23 In conjunction with this same calendar, the Finance Commission has several budget-related discussions <br />24 tentatively scheduled on their upcoming 2020 Workplan. They include: <br />25 <br />26 May 12, June 9: Review Proposed 2021-2040CIP <br />27 August 18: Review 2021 City Manager Recommended Budget & Tax Levy <br />28 October 13: Review Proposed 2021 Utility Rates <br />29 <br />30 Discussion on Budget Information Packages <br />31 In addition to setting the budget calendar, the Council is also asked to identify the types of information <br />32 packages it needs in order to make informed budgetary decisions.During last year’s budget process, the <br />33 Council received over a dozen separate information packages that featured over 500 pages of content. <br />34 This was similar to prior years. <br />35 <br />36 While the Council is encouraged to review any and all materials that prove beneficial to the decision- <br />37 making process, Staff has observed that over the past few years the majority of budget discussionsappear <br />38 to be generated by a subset of the documents compiled. As a result, staff is seeking additional guidance <br />39 on which pieces of information and what level of detail is most important to the group. <br />40 <br />41 Perhaps a good working example might be the information package that was prepared last August in <br />42 conjunction with the 2020 City Manager Recommended Budget (see Attachment A). This package <br />43 featured a 4-page staff report accompanied by a 16-page presentation. It also included five supplementary <br />44 pieces that totaled an additional 19 pages. Based on the meeting minutesand video, all of the conversation <br />45 points were driven by the summary information contained in the Staff Report and presentation. <br />46 <br />47 In deciding on which types of information packages to use, we should remain mindful of the importance <br />48 of transparency and clarity associated with the budget process. Ensuring the public’s trust is critical and <br />49 we have a responsibility to demonstrate the need for property taxes and fees. It’s conceivable however, <br />50 thatthe public’s level of understanding may be more heavily influenced by the broader narrative than it <br />51 is by the volumes of data. <br />52 P OLICY O BJECTIVE <br />53 It is recommended that the City continue to adhere to budgeting best practices including a commitment <br />54 to formally incorporate the public’s input, understanding long-term budget impacts, and communicating <br />55 the City’s intentions early and throughout the budget process. <br />56 F INANCIAL I MPACTS <br />57 Not applicable. <br />58 S TAFF R ECOMMENDATION <br />59 Not applicable. <br />60 R EQUESTED C OUNCIL A CTION <br />61 The Council is asked to provide guidance on the 2021 Budget calendar, and the types of information <br />Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br />
