7. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a. Discuss Recommended Budget
• City Council is currently reviewing the City Manager’s Recommended budget. Throughout September
and leading up to their final budget work session on October 8, the Council solicits input from residents.
During this time, Boards and Commissions may choose to submit letters to City Council expressing their
perspectives on the draft budget. Last week, the Board agreed to further discuss the proposed
elimination of the $150,000 continuing enhancement to Human Services grant funding. After further
discussion, the Board decided to draft a letter to City Council, advocating for the retention to offer NCV
44.3 – Continuing Enhancement Human Services Program Grant Funding in the amount of $150,000. Two
Board members were selected to draft the letter and once a draft is completed, Adam Molzer will share
it with the entire Board for review. Adam reminded the Board that he will help facilitate the process and
answer specific questions, but will not draft the content of the letter.
8. NEW BUSINESS
