A tentative schedule has been released for the 2010 budget process.
The City has been given an extra month to approve the budget. Â The schedule, subject to change, is as follows:
- 08/06/2009 – Controller Pat Roller discussion with Mayor Tom Henry
- 08/10 – 08/20/2009 – Meetings with Divisions
- 09/02/2009 – 16 line statement and completion of Allen County Council non-binding review report due to the City and County Councils
- 09/08/2009 – Finalized Budgets
- 09/18/2009 – Budget books to City Council
- 09/22/2009 – Budget introduced at City Council
- 10/27/2009 – final day for Budget passage
Councilwoman Liz Brown will preside over the City Council’s Budget Hearings.
Why does it take 10 days to get the finalized budget proposal to city council?
Good question, Jeff. Printing? I know the Council’s budget books were a bit more fancy than the one I paid $10 for, perhaps it takes that long to get them printed and assembled? I wonder if they do that in-house for all the budget books?
