-2- VI. Announcements A. Council Report—Council Member Phillips • August will be the first look at the budget for next year. They will be getting a revised proposal from Dean Lotter, City Manager. • The new project is well underway up in the New Brighton Exchange. • At the next meeting we will prepare for the budget. By the first meeting in September we have to set the maximum levy and then the first meeting in December, we certify the actual levy. We can't exceed any amount that we set in September. We want to fund our capital assets. We want to continue to provide the services. We have really worked hard to prioritize. B.
