The purpose of this work session was to continue Council review of the proposed 2015 -2016 Budget.
Questions from Councilmembers and their responses will be reflected in the master spreadsheet
maintained by the Council Analyst.
Attachment A
Finance Director Peggy McCarthy provided an overview of Attachment A of the Financial Planning Model,
which combines the activities of all governmental funds except the special revenue funds and offers a
projected forecast of six years. It shows financial results, budget and projections for both operating and
capital governmental facilities. The forecast is developed based upon local, regional, and national trends,
and unique circumstances.
Councilmembers asked clarifying questions on the format and content of the document. Following
discussion on Line 27, Fire Improvements, Council requested that those amounts not be included in the
totals, since that is dedicated revenue. Staff agreed to the change.
Governmental Funds CIP
Public Works staff provided an overview of the Governmental Funds Capital Improvement Project
contents in the Budget notebook. Each fund has a cover page that lists the capital projects and
references the page number for further information. Councilmembers asked clarifying questions and
discussed the role of grant funding in various projects.
The remaining items on the agenda (Internal Service Funds, Debt Service, Enterprise Funds, and Policy
Considerations) will be continued during the Committee of the Whole meeting.
