<br />Council Member Bauman stated she requested the budget process start earlier in
<br />the year.
<br />~unci1 Member Hoffman addressed the earlier comment about a "split council." It
<br />~as her understanding that the decision to conduct a resident sUlVey was unified.
<br />Council Member Doffmg requested a question be added to the sUlVey, relating to
<br />the Councils responsibility to prioritize areas over others areas when it comes to a
<br />budget deficit and what do you think those areas should be?

<br />for quite some time. He asked Mayor Larson and Ms. Troha to keep
<br />under control, SUlVey or no SUlVey.
