Significant upward movement may not happen until September or October
Staff will continue to monitor economic situation and will update as needed

Next Steps 
■ All General Fund related departments have been asked to prepare on-going budget reduction scenarios for consideration – Public safety departments at 5% and others at 10% – Departments funded outside of the General Fund will be adjusted as necessary to remain within their funding sources 
■ Budget reduction scenarios provide a framework for staff to work from throughout the year – Currently about half of the reduction items are anticipated to be needed at the beginning of the year 
■ Staff will return to Council in June with an updated revenue forecast and recommendations for budget reductions to begin implementation in July – Economic conditions will continue to be monitored and additional budget reductions will be recommended if needed
