Outcome: The City Council will have an opportunity to engage in a dialogue regarding the City’s preliminarily anticipated General Fund budgetary position for 2022-2023, as well as provide input for how the consideration of equity and key performance measures should inform the trade-off decision-making that will be necessary in the development of a balanced budget for 2022-2023.
