This week in Council Chambers

On By In budget, council briefing, full council, this week

All budget, all the time.

Monday morning’s Council Briefing has no presentations scheduled.

Monday afternoon’s full City Council meeting has no agenda items other than paying the weekly bills.

There is nothing on this week’s Introduction and Referral Calendar (again, other than paying the bills).

The rest of the week is budget meetings. Last Wednesday was the deadline for Council members to submit their “Form B” budget change requests (what used to be called “Green Sheets”), and this week the Council will discuss them all. Currently there are morning and afternoon meetings blocked out Tuesday through Friday, but it’s unlikely that they will need all of them. Tuesday’s agenda has already been published, with twenty topic areas scheduled for discussion:

  • Session I – 9:30 AM
    1. Office of Arts and Culture
    2. Office for Civil Rights
    3. Law Department
    4. Office of Hearing Examiner
    5. Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs
    6. Office of Planning and Community Development
