WS - 2 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item No. 2 <br />Date: Council Work Session December 7, 2005 <br />To: City Council <br />From: Gordon Heitke <br />Re: Funding Requests for 2006 Budget <br />Background <br />As part of the presentation of the preliminary budget to the Council, staff identified five <br />funding requests from other agencies. The Council's direction to staff was to not include <br />any funding for these outside agencies in the 2006 budget. Since the adoption of the <br />preliminary budget, staff has informed various organizations of the Council's inability to <br />fund outside agency requests this year. Inquiries have been made as to whether the <br />Council would entertain presentations from organizations requesting funding. <br />Staff has taken the position that placing budget requests on the Council agenda would be <br />inconsistent with the past action of the Council, however, would forward the requests to <br />the Council. <br />Requested Council Direction <br />Staff is forwarding the requests of organizations for funding presentations. Should the <br />Council choose to reconsider these funding requests, staff is recommending that all of the <br />agencies be informed of the opportunity to present to the Council since most accepted the <br />fact that the Council had made its decision. <br />1 <br />
