PEACE <br /> y . <br /> M A <br /> 1865 <br /> Karen White <br /> At Large Council Member <br /> The Council President Tim Scott and Chairperson Karen L. White participated in the <br /> 2019 Budget Kick-Off held on May 9, 2018. Council Members were asked to submit <br /> their specific budget priorities which were reflected in the attached PowerPoint <br /> presentation given during the Budget Kick-Off. <br /> Furthermore, in preparing for the 2019 City Budget hearings, Council Members were <br /> asked to respond to the following questions in reference to the overall budget <br /> hearings process. <br /> 1. Overall impressions of the hearing process. <br /> 2. Did you receive information in a timely fashion? <br /> 3. What were the gaps as they are related to the information requested and received? <br /> 4. How can we improve the budget process? <br /> 6. What worked well? What didn't? <br /> 7. Were there too many hearings? Not enough? <br /> 8. How can we improve citizen participation? <br /> The following is a summary of responses received: <br /> Schedule of meeting dates were good. I like the later start. The public kick off was <br /> good. <br /> Let's begin the budget hearings by focusing on the data and money. Allow the Council <br /> to ask questions and then go into the accomplishments. I would do 15 minutes of <br /> financial presentation; 15-20 minutes of council questions and then remainder <br /> accomplishments. <br /> 227 W.Jefferson Blvd.Rm.441 Office: (574)235-9321 FAX: (574)520-5018 <br /> County-City Building South Bend,IN Voicemail: (574)235-5985 TDD: (574)235-5567 <br /> 46601-1830 Work Office: (574)520-4477 Email:KWHITE@SOUTHBENDIN.GOV <br />
