Mr. Rapp asked if the Council would like to hold another conversation at a worksession meeting to discuss <br />how the budget should be reviewed. <br />Mayor Jacobsen believed that the new Finance Director would be able to explain the City's finances in greater <br />detail to the Council. <br />Councilmember Bauman was in favor of reviewing the budget over a longer time period. <br />Councilmember Burg believed the City has been working quite hard to pay off and reduce its debt. She <br />understood that the budget process was a critical role for the Council and she did not take it lightly. <br />Councilmember Strub agreed and believed the City was moving in the right direction financially. He <br />supported the current budget process. <br />Lotter provided further comment on the City's current budgeting process. <br />Mr. Rapp understood that Councilmember Bauman and the Mayor would like to further articulate some <br />parameters for the budget. <br />Councilmember Burg was in favor of reviewing budgets over the years in order to see how the City was <br />improving its finances over time. <br />Councilmember Jacobsen stated this type of review would allow for trends to be discussed while also seeing <br />how year-end financials impact the coming year. <br />Mr. Rapp thanked the Council for the input provided this evening. <br />Worksession adjourned at 7:43 pm <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />�66c - ;41ue,� 1 ) <br />Terri Haarstad <br />City Clerk <br />
