Regular City Council Meeting <br />Monday, February 08, 2010 <br />Page 26 <br />Roll Call <br />Ayes: Johnson; Pust; Ihlan; and Roe. <br />Abstain: Klausing <br />Nays: None. <br />Recess <br />Mayor Klausing recessed the meeting at approximately 9:28 p.m. and reconvened at approxi- <br />mately 9:36 p.m. <br />b. Discuss 2011 Budgeting for Outcomes Process <br />Finance Director Miller briefly summarized the discussion points in the RCA <br />dated January 25, 2010, and discussion deferred to tonight's meeting. Mr. Miller <br />noted staffis internal review of the 2009 BFO process, its strengths and weakness; <br />and their recommendation, that despite its challenges and nuances, that it be pur- <br />sued in the 2011 budget process. <br />Councilmember Roe, as a supporter of the BFO process to begin with, acknowl- <br />edged that, while there were challenges; they could be improved upon, with the <br />key to link outcomes and to include all city operations, not just those supported by <br />tax funds. Councilmember Roe opined that part of the issue was a lack of under- <br />standing from the City Council level, of the 160 categories defined; and from his <br />perspective, opined that it made sense to build and improve on the process rather <br />than abandoning it. <br />Councilmember Johnson, as a supporter of the process as well, concurred with the <br />comments of Councilmember Roe. Councilmember Johnson's concerns included <br />the length of the process, and his preference to have had a preliminary idea of <br />where the budget was at earlier in the process. Councilmember Johnson noted, <br />from his personal business experience, their ongoing self-auditing process, and <br />how that process had served to be less disruptive, and provided a greater under- <br />standing of protocols and standard operating procedures; and suggested that a <br />similar process be included in the BFO process. Councilmember Johnson sug- <br />gested that this process would be spending more time with the staff directors ear- <br />lier in the year (i.e., 1-2 meetings with each Department Head) as mandatory, not <br />optional meetings, to understand their department better when it came time to <br />make ambiguous decisions, rather than being left to the end of the budget cycle <br />allowing more time to think through the process, rather than making the end-of- <br />year meetings so labor intensive for staff and Councilmembers, and providing <br />time and energy to deal with other City business during that time as well. <br />Councilmember Pust addressed strengths: her appreciation that the City is at- <br />tempting to find a better budget process and that the City Manager and Finance <br />Director had presented this option to the City Council, and expressed appreciation <br />to all staff for their extensive efforts, especially that of Finance Director Miller in <br />the numerous iterations requested and presented. Councilmember Pust concurred <br />
