Mayor Linke explained to the viewers that the calendar shows the first budget meeting to be held on April 17 and the last on December 22, 1995. Councilmember Hankner pointed out how many opportunities there were for residents to come in while the Council is meeting on the issue of the budget. She remarked that people should not wait until the end of the year to voice their opinions about the budget and stressed the importance to come in early when plans are being formulated. Orduno replied that residents would get more benefit from coming after the initial meeting because all items will be put on the board at the initial meeting but many will be dropped after consideration. Councilmember Trude explained that the easiest way for residents to get correspondence to all Councilmembers would be to drop it off at City Hall and it would be distributed. • MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Trude to Adopt Resolution No. 4741 Adopting the 1995 Long Term Financial Plan and 1996 Budget Calendars VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried
