Meet
with Each Department
On
May 6, the Mayor Purcell will begin budget hearings with each department.
In these hearings, the departments present their plans for the coming
fiscal year and justify their budget requests in the context of
the programs and services they plan to offer the citizens. The Mayor’s
Hearings are televised on Metro 3 (, the Government Access Channel)
and through streaming video on Metro’s internet site so that
citizens have timely and easy access to these important discussions.
Review
the Accomplishments, Strategic Issues, and Goals
The Mayor will review each department’s accomplishments from
the previous year to ensure that each department has made progress
toward meeting their stated goals with the resources provided in
their existing budgets. Strategic issues are addressed in the context
of Nashville's Priorities and departments are provided the opportunity
to discuss goals for the next budget cycle.
Review
Resource Requests
In these hearings, the Mayor and departments also review departmental
resource requests that are necessary to accomplish goals in the
next budget cycle. Departments are provided the opportunity to describe
how an investment of resources will improve programs and services
offered in the community. The Mayor uses the information from these
hearings to make decisions about which items to include in the recommended
operating budget that is presented to the Metro Council not later
than May 25th of each year.
