___ _ ____ 11.1 ...........
By W CHy Cosuil Sithe GYN of Hauser:
RESOLVED,
WHEREAS, The current process for presentation of City of Bangor
annual municipal budget proposals incorporates an
above/current below/current system in which departmental
budget proposals are analyzed by comparison to the prior
year's approved municipal budget; and
WHEREAS, It is the sense of the City Council that a system
incorporating zero -based budget proposals requiring
independent justification for the continuation of prior
year expenditure levels will enable the Council to
conduct a more thorough review of the City's FY 1996
municipal budget proposal and will create new
opportunities to reduce total budgeted expenditures,
NOW, THEREFORE, by the City Council of the City of Bangor be it
RESOLVED, THAT the City Staff are hereby directed to present
departmental budget proposals for PY 1996 as zero -based
proposals, with written justification for each program
expenditure;
and be it further
RESOLVED, THAT the City Manager and City School Committee are
hereby directed to take all necessary action to
implement this Resolve.
