BACKGROUND AND
COMMENT:
The Staff Committee has recently discussed the
preparation of the 1982 budget and has agreed on the attached
guidelines. It is the feeling of the Administator and the
Comittee that the proposed guidelines are a reasonable basis
on which Departments can prepare their initial budget
submissions for review by the Administrator and Treasurer,
prior to submission to Council.
The budget guidelines have been prepared with
the objective of streamlining the budget process by providing
initial direction to staff. The guidelines include
recommended target dates for completion of the budget and
adoption by Council.
