Motion To: WHEREAS, although it is recognized that the City’s budget process has been developed and refined over a number of years based on past practice and experience, there is always value in reviewing those practices to see if there can be further improvement; and WHEREAS there may be useful lessons learned from this year’s process especially for those Members of Council who have gone through the City’s budget process for the first time, such as (but not limited to) the desirability for budget documents to be more user-friendly, the identification of unfunded pressures and consideration to improving the budget public consultation process and initiating it before the budget directions are set, and WHEREAS it is expected that the process for the development of the 2016 Draft Operating and Capital Budget will begin within a matter of months; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that staff be directed to conduct a budget survey (electronic or in-person) for all Members of Council about all aspects of the 2015 b pop-out |
