Continue Discussion of 2013 Budget

The 2013 budget was most recently discussed at a work session earlier this month on May 1.  Following discussion, it was suggested the Council further review staff's recommendations and be prepared to address proposed staffing  at a future meeting. 

Individual Council Member concerns that were discussed included;  the cumulative impact of multiple staff vacancies, the loss of redundancy, loss of backup staff, and the reduced ability to respond to unanticipated events, such as a major equipment failrue or storm damage. 

The objective of this work session is to review any anticipated impacts resulting from proposed reductions, and to consider the appropraite level of staffing given Council expectations for current service delivery,  and the achievement of long-term goals balanced against the desired level of taxes and fees.
