Department Budget Presentations Regarding the 2010
Preliminary Budget
The 2010 preliminary budget is still a work in progress and for Monday night's
meeting, staff will be presenting their 2010 Department Budgets for City
Council's consideration and review (see Attachment #1).
The change in the economy requires us to take a strategic look at our
organization and how to best move forward for the long-term. When looking at
reducing expenditures, we have to ask, "Is this affecting core services and
infrastructure improvements?" We need to concentrate our efforts in the areas
that have been directly affected by the economic downturn. To do this, we need
to develop a budget that better positions us for the long-term, but still provides
the same quality services we provide Chanhassen taxpayers today.
The attached preliminary budget still has a $72,000 gap from the preliminary
levy set in September. I am convinced that we will be able to make up this gap
before we establish the final levy in December. Monday's meeting will be the
Council's opportunity to review the current level of services we provide and
give staff input on how these services will be provided in the future.
