Title
General Government Budget Calendar (NB)
This is a request for the City Commission to approve dates for discussion of the FY2018/2019 biennial budget.
Explanation
Staff requests that the City Commission approve dates to discuss items related to the FY2018/2019 biennial budget. Topics of discussion will include an updated Five-Year Financial Forecast, Capital Improvement Plan, Fire Assessment, Millage Rate and the General Government Budget.
In response to feedback and suggestions received prior to and during last year’s budget process, staff is recommending shifting the budget discussions and deliberations earlier in the calendar year to primarily occur in the spring, with an approval of the proposed tentative budget and millage rate for General Government to occur in July, in accordance with the State Department of Revenue’s Truth in Millage requirements.
GRU will set their July budget dates in a separate item.
