Calendar Year 2005-06 Workshops
(for developing the Fiscal Year 2006-07 Budget)

Each year the City Council holds a series of Workshop Meetings to develop the City's annual Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budgets. In the fall of 2005, work started on the Fiscal Year 2006-07 budget (for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2006). At these meetings, the City Manager presents recommendations for improving services and maintaining a balanced budget. The City Council, in turn, provides feedback and direction to City staff in establishing fiscal and programmatic goals for the coming year. The public is welcome to attend and comment at these meetings which are held at 7:30 a.m. in the St. Etienne Room of the Argonne Armory building, located at 602 Robert D. Ray Drive.
