Staff will review this information during the meeting. <br />New this year as part of the Proposed Budget are Departmental summaries that help <br />explain the work each department does and provide justification for each recommended <br />significant change. Because budget discussions often focus on new proposals or <br />activities, this information is intended to help everyone see the comprehensive level of <br />ongoing services the City provides. <br />Also new this year are summaries of the performance metrics Departments use to help <br />make management decisions. In our ongoing effort to improve services we have listed <br />the metrics each Department has developed —or is starting to develop —to document <br />levels of service, demonstrate progress, show accomplishments, and identify ways or <br />areas that need improvement. <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />See attachments. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />The City Manager and staff will provide a summary of the proposed budget, address <br />Council questions, and ask the Council to schedule the formal public hearing on the <br />2015 Budget for October 21, 2014. During the Council's October 14, 2014 Special <br />Meeting, staff will ask Council for any changes Council members want to see in the <br />proposed Budget in order to finalize it for the public hearing. Based on public comments <br />and Council direction during the public hearing, staff will finalize the budget for adoption <br />during the Council's November 3, 2014 meeting. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />1.
