Adopt city's annual operating budget and 5-year capital improvement plan
In Plain English
The city sets its spending plan for the next year and maps out major projects like road repairs and park improvements for the next 5 years. The operating budget covers day-to-day expenses like police, fire, and maintenance services. If approved, these budgets become the city's official financial roadmap through 2014.

Votes
Approve the budget with the correction of the Office of Neighborhood Safety, assuring that they have General Fund commitment, restoration of the current Chevron funds, and direct staff to present proposals to the Council on what the City will do if funds from Chevron in the amount of $5 million are lost in the next 30 days
6 to 0
Why This Vote Matters
The city council approved its spending plan for 2009-2010 and a five-year capital improvement budget through 2014, with broad support in a 6-0 vote (Councilmember Butt was absent). The budget covers daily operations like police and fire services, plus major projects such as road repairs and park improvements. As part of the approval, the council specifically protected funding for the Office of Neighborhood Safety and required staff to present backup plans within 30 days in case the city loses $5 million in expected Chevron funding. This budget approval follows the typical pattern of strong council support for budget measures.
