Mayor Schmidt -- Email -- Budget Hearings



From: Dave Schmidt

Subject: Budget hearings

I wanted to let you all know that we will be starting budget discussions much earlier this year. The first session will take place this coming Tuesday, December 14, beginning at 7pm at City Hall. The first session will involve a capital budget review, an overview of goals and priorities and a review of revenue projections. The next scheduled meeting is January 31 when the actual budget booklet will be distributed to the Council. However, it is entirely possible, perhaps likely, that there will be one or more additional meetings between those dates.

Last year's budget hearings we by far the best-attended in any one's memory. Although I obviously was not satisfied with the final product, I was pleased that there was so much resident involvement. I strongly believe that it has an impact, and I encourage residents to participate again this year. I hope to see you Tuesday.

Mind your manners. Until someone makes the issue a matter of public discussion and-or policy consideration, we aren't entertaining those sorts of comments. And yes, he may be the biggest hypocrite in town.

We think we know how you feel, people.

We didn't quite know what to say about it either.

Have a good weekend.

PRU, there's nothing to say about the email.

He is bragging about the participation from last year but he has ranted how bad the final budget was and he vetoed it.

Then he says he thinks attendance has effect. I just don't get it.
