Strategies
One of the work session items originally set for Monday night was, "Finalize 1999
Budget Format and Review Comments." Karen has completed ranking the
strategies in accordance with Nancy's and my notes from Monday night
(attached). Please verify that these are correct. At the end of the meeting,
Councilman Senn noted that one of our next efforts should be to rank the
strategies as set on July 6th. I have also included a copy of those.
Nancy, Mark and I will be meeting on Friday to discuss developing a budgetary
format that creates measurements that will determine if the 1999 budget meets
strategies. Therefore, I have no other enclosures to submit.
