This workshop is designed to provide an overview of the current estimates and other fiscal considerations relating to the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 fiscal years.  The City Manager is also seeking input from the City Council regarding fiscal policies to be integrated into the fiscal year 2016-2017 budget.  Based upon input and direction received today, the 2016-2017 Tentative Budget will be prepared and filed with the State Department of Taxation (which must be filed by April 15, 2016), and the City Manager will direct the creation of the City Manager's Final Budget recommendations.  The City Manager's Final Budget recommendations are tentatively scheduled to be presented to the City Council and Redevelopment Agency for further input and approval in April 2016.

Additionally, State law requires a public hearing to be held by the governing body not sooner than the third Monday in May and not later than the last day in May.  This public hearing is tentatively scheduled for May 23, 2016.  The City Manager currently intends to present the 2016-2017 Final Budget to the City Council and Redevelopment Agency also on May 23, 2016 immediately following the public hearing on the 2016-2017 Tentative Budget.
