After that,we will hear from the Mayor's Office,the City Clerk's Office and the Common Council. I do ask the Committee and Council Members to allow for the full presentation to be given before asking questions. I also ask all involved in this process to be mindful of the time as I would like to have time for members of the public to ask questions as well. The budget process is a very important time for the City. It is at this time that we begin to look at our priorities and values and attempt to craft a budget that reflects those things.

Thank you, in advance for all the work we are about to embark on. It feels it happens earlier every year and the reality is that budget season comes, ready or not, and I am really looking forward to the next ten (10)to twelve (12) weeks to get a budget that will serve the community well and that will help us meet our mission. We are doing this initial kick-off a little earlier than usual for mutual scheduling reasons so, I will speak as much as possible to our goals and the big picture.
