Mayor Herzberg asked what the Acting City Manager needed from the Commission. The
Acting City Manager replied the adjustments can be made that were discussed and he
does not believe he needs consensus. Staff will have a package to the Commission for next
Wednesday, September 7th for the first budget hearing. That meeting will entail the first
vote on the millage rate and the second item will be for the budget itself. Following that, a
week and five days later, will be the second reading on the millage to complete the budget
process.
