MEMORANDUM
Date: August 8, 2008
To: Mayor & City Council
From: Christine Harkess, Finance Director
Subject: 2009 Preliminary Budget
FINANCE DEPARTMENT
Staff has been working on the 2009 budget General Fund Budget. All General Fund
Departments have submitted their budgets and Rick and I have met with each of the department
managers to review budgets. We have requested additional information from the departments
and as of Friday are working to incorporate the additional information and make changes as a
result of the information received keeping in mind the council's 2009 tax levy directive.
While we have not yet received the levy limit amount we have the information to approximate
the calculation and will have that information on Tuesday as well.
At the work session we have a preliminary 2009 General Fund Budget and show how that
impacts the 2009 tax levy.
