Tomorrow will be the second of two scheduled budget work sessions for the Neosho City Council. These sessions are designed to allow the council and city administrators to talk openly and informally about next year’s budget.
Last week, the council had their first opportunity to discuss with management the general assumptions used in putting the new budget together. Council members got to ask questions and department heads and committee chair were also allowed to give their input and comments.
Tomorrow, after council reviews the changes from last week and asks their questions, the budget session will end with members of the public who have specific questions to ask those questions to the council and staff. Questions that can be answered will be. Questions that need more research will be answered at a future council meeting. Either way, if you have a specific question, come down and ask.
But please note the words “specific question”. Tomorrow is not the time to discuss comments outside the budget – only specific questions related to the budget will be allowed. (And since the meeting is posted as a budget session – discussion outside of that topic would go against the provisions of the Sunshine Law – something that WILL NOT HAPPEN.)
(The method of how questions will be ask is still up in the air – for purposes of keeping track of them along with who asks them, I’m leaning toward having the questions from the public in written form…we’ll see how it goes.)
