The transmittal letter is best described as a summary from the city manager of the budget.

The budget presentation is just that. A power point presentation highlighting the details of the budget.

And the proposed budget is the budget in detail.

The bulk of the budget will be discussed on Saturday. This was done to provide a greater opportunity for those who wanted to attend but found it difficult to come out after work on a weekday. Regardless of whether you can attend the hearings, take some time to look through the budget presentation. If you have any questions or comments you can contact your city councilor or attend anyone of the budget hearings.
