City Budget Will Be Reviewed at Workshop
The City Council will hold a workshop Saturday to review the budget and discuss the financial outlook for the coming year.
The public session will be from 8:30 a.m. to noon at the Gordon Hoyt Conference Center, City Hall West, 201 S. Anaheim Blvd.
A review of city accomplishments as well as discussion of council goals and objectives will highlight the workshop.
“As we build the budget for next year, we’ll get direction from council on priorities,” City Manager James D. Ruth said.
The council will also review the $588-million budget, which is in line with projections for the current fiscal year, Ruth said.
Ruth said hotel bed tax and sales tax collections are up, indicating that the economy is turning around. For the first time in five years, Ruth said, “we’ll end the year without having to use one-time monies or reserves.”
Ruth said no major cutbacks in city services are anticipated for the next fiscal year, but “it’s still going to be a tight budget.”
