C. 2 YEAR BUDGET DISCUSSION
Presentation by City Manager Damien O'Bid
Councilmembers comment
The consensus among the Councilmembers is to postpone the introduction of a twoyear budget cycle process to a future budget cycle to allow for an additional strategic planning meeting. Having a five-meeting structure will allow Council time to discuss introducing new projects/goals, to address staff's current workload, and to refine citywide project lists for a two-year projection
