LCitv0f <br />Louisville <br />PARKS & RECREATION <br />Memorandum <br />To: Open Space Advisory Board <br />From: Ember Brignull <br />Date: May 13, 2015 <br />Re: Discussion Item IX: 2015 Open Space Operational Budget <br />Update & Suggestions /Feedback from OSAB for 2016 <br />Operational Budget (15 min) <br />The City Manager's Office has requested that staff liaisons, for advisory <br />boards /commissions, obtain and submit `2016 Operating Budget board /commission <br />recommendations' to Department Directors. <br />To accomplish this request the OSAB Chair has decided to host a "10 year Horizon <br />Brainstorming" discussion. This discussion will result in a list of OSAB priorities. Staff <br />will then present the 2015 Operating Budget and OSAB will have an opportunity to <br />recommend changes to the 2016 Operating Budget to reflect immediate needs <br />identified in the brainstorming exercise. <br />Staff will make additional revisions as needed to meet long term goals identified in <br />the brainstorming exercise. These changes will be submitted to the Department <br />Director (in May) who will submit a prioritized list of all Department requests to the <br />City Manager (in July /August). <br />The City Manager will put together a recommended budget for City Council <br />consideration. This recommended budget will not include every request, but rather it <br />will include what the City can afford. The City Council will review the recommended <br />budget and make changes they see fit (in September /October). <br />Once the Budget is adopted (in November) staff will share the results with OSAB at <br />the following board meeting. <br />6 <br />
