According to the City’s own charter (Section 6.02):
The budget shall be finally adopted not later than the fifteenth (15) day of the last month of the fiscal year [September]. Should the Council take no final action on or prior to that day, the budget, as submitted, shall be deemed to have been finally adopted by the Council.
We already know the PROPOSED budget was never posted on the City website for the suckers taxpayers to peruse. I had to personally request that – even though according to Section 6.02 the City Manager “shall submit to City Council” a proposed budget no later than 60 days prior to end of the fiscal year….which would have been July 31st.
Well – today is the 17th of September. I guess the proposed budget is now adopted? Where is it? I sure don’t see it on the website under “approved budgets” (bottom of page). Do you?
