_ Sased on these priorities, and incorporating a traditional `budgeting-for-outcomes' process, one would <br />� expect that public safety programs would receive greater emphasis on ensuring that these programs are <br />, funded at an appropriate level. Sy contrast, Parks & Recreation would receive less emphasis. However, <br />� the Council is reminded that the `budgeting-for-outcomes' process is designed to be fluid (to a point) . In <br />� other words, if we're not happy with the result, perhaps another priority-ranking iteration would be in order. <br />. Service Standards / Measures <br />. At the November 9th meeting, Councilmembers also noted a desire to use `budgeting-for-outcomes' in the <br />. context of equating resources to desired outcomes or service levels. Generally speaking, Staff supports that <br />. concept. However, it was noted at the beginning of this process, that the City lacks many of the <br />. performance measures that would likely be used in this process. It was suggested that the City develop <br />. these performance measures in a subsequent year, and in the meantime concentrate our efforts on <br />. determining the City's general priorities and preferences. <br />. Detailed Budgets <br />. The Council also asked for more detailed budgets for the operating divisions not included in the budgeting- <br />� for-outcomes process. An attachment providing this detail is attached. <br />� City Staff will address the Recommended Sudget and any further Council or citizen inquiries at the Council <br />meeting. <br />POLICY OBJECTIVE <br />The City Council is scheduled to adopt a final budget and t� levy on December 21, 2009. <br />� FINANCIAL IMPACTS <br />� Sased on the Recommended Sudget, and maintaining the preliminary tax levy at its current level, a <br />� typically-valued home would pay approximately $54 per month. This represents an increase of $5.87 per <br />� month or 12%. In exchange, residents receive 24x7x365 police and fire services, well maintained streets, <br />� and a full offerring of parks and recreation programs and facilities. <br />� $54 per month is comparable to the monthly cost for cable or satellite tv, telephone/mobile phone, gas, <br />� electric, and some broadband internet connections. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Not applicable. <br />REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION <br />Continue discussions on the the 2010 City Manager Recommended Sudget <br />Prepared by: Chris Miller, Finance Director <br />Attachments: A: 2010 City Manager Recommended Budget Summary <br />B: Budget detail for non-property t� supported programs <br />C: Budgeting for Outcomes Program Listings and Recommended Funding Levels <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
