This priority based budget strategy ensures that the Council’s priorities are the guiding principles for developing the
annual operating and capital improvement budgets. To achieve this, each operating department proposed enhance-
ments--otherwise known as “decision packages”--which they believed would advance the Council’s priorities and
goals. The decision packages were categorized as ongoing (e.g., personnel) or one-time investments (e.g., capital im-
provement project) and evaluated to determine which would best meet the community’s needs within the City’s fi-
nancial resources. Highlights of the resulting recommendations follow with more detailed explanations in the depart-
ment narratives. Each decision package may advance more than one Council priority though each has been included
only in its most significant priority.
