Item #4—2010-11 Fiscal Year Budget
September 21, 2009
To: SAB Members
From: Craig & Grant
Date: September 21, 2009
Subject: 2010-11 SAB Budget Recommendation(Draft)
Lake Oswego's Advisory Boards do not have budgets, but they do have some level
influence in having their strategic and programmatic priorities funded within the City's
budget. Based upon our experience in last year's budgeting cycle we know we must be
more proactive and timelier in submitting our budget recommendations. Therefore, we
need to submit our Budget Recommendation for 2010-11 fiscal year no later than
November 2009.
Since our budget recommendation needs to follow our strategic and programmatic
priorities we must first clarify our 2009-10 and 2010-11 priorities in order to build a
supporting budget. Note that we also need to try to recommend the expenditure of funds
in the existing budget to support sustainability activities between now and the beginning
of the next fiscal year(July 2010).
Based upon previous SAB conversations we have identified four(4) major initiatives or
priorities for budget consideration. First,please review these priorities to be certain we
have agreement on our direction. Second, are the budgeted dollars for each activity or
priority seemingly reasonable?
