Co�ncil President James Scheibel
and Members ot the City Council
716 City Hall ,
Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102
Dear Council President Scheib�l
and Honorable Members of the City Council :
The budget process is the principal tool that we have to make the
decisions for the delivery of service to the citizens of
Saint Paul. I believe that we should strive to i�►prove that
process so that the best possible decisions may be made. The
ideas put forth recently which relate to the budget process are
welcome and clearly demonstrate an initiative for active
participation in setting the city' s budgeting strategies .
The city's budget process has many far reaching effects on
Saint Paul 's citizens and taxpayers, customers and visitors,
employees and managers, district councils and elected officials.
I feel that changes to that process should only be made with a
good understanding of the effects of the change and with a
knowledge of those affected.
I am referring the 2 resolutions and 1 Ordinance to the City
Clerk for placement on the council .agenda. I am anxious to
consider the ideas suggested but only after a thorough
discussion. We should seek out the reaction of the principal
participants in the budget process and proceed with these new
concepts once agreement is reached on an app.roach.
A group consisting of staff from Council Research, the Cabinet,
the Finance Department and the Budget Office has been working an
a major effort analyzing the budget process, including a study of
multi-year budgeting. I will share your ideas with the group so
that they be considered. The group is close to providing its
recommendations for review. The Budget Director will present a
report by March 7 , 1988 . This should provide the perfect
opportunity for discussion, negotiation and agreement.
Very truly yours ,
