Mounds View City Council Page Three Regular Meeting August 9, 1993 capital expenditures will no longer be there. At both the Focus 2000 forums and the strategic planning sessions held in March, recommendations were put forth on how best to meet the expenditures facing the City. Some staffing projects included in the 1994 budget had to be eliminated. The Long Term Financial Plan and the 1994 budget are very interlinked. The Long Term Financial Plan serves as a guideline. The items listed on the Long Term Financial Plan will be met at some point in the future, but not necessarily in the order that they have been projected. The Council committed that the Focus 2000 will be the force that will decide what will or will not happen in the future. Orduno reported that Ordinance No. 530 Adopting the Long Term Financial Plan was inadvertently omitted from the Council Packet, but was hand delivered to the meeting and is included for consideration at this evening's Council Meeting. The Long Term Financial Plan will be considered for action at the August 23 , 1993 regular Council Meeting.
