Workshop
To: Board of Directors
From: Peter Holzmeister
Date: November 10, 2005
Subject: Budget workshop
Why this matter is before the Board: The Board requested this workshop on
the budget for 2006
History: At the last Board meeting I presented a draft budget for 2006 to the
Board. We went over the budget in broad general terms. The Board then
expressed an interest in asking questions of various department heads to clarify
portions of the budget. That is the purpose of this meeting.
New information: I have placed an advertisement in the Sierra Sun and
Moonshine ink describing the proposal to increase water and electric rates. I
have also prepared a letter and sheet of Frequently Asked Questions to be
mailed to all customers, again describing the proposed rate increases.
Department heads will be present at the meeting on November 16 to answer
questions.
Recommendation: This is a workshop, so no formal action is contemplated.
Hopefully, the Board will schedule hearings to receive input on the budget and
rate ordinances.
NOTE: Please bring the budget documents with you.
