Mr. Fialho referred to public workshops which are scheduled on May 10 and 24, 2011, and as necessary, June 7, 2011. The workshops will serve to educate the public on how the budget is put together, liabilities and unfunded liabilities, what is a deficit versus an unfunded liability, what are the implications on the City's budget, and soliciting comments on how the City might approach fiscal reform long -term. Councilmember McGovern said she did not think the public realizes that the City's $177 million in unencumbered assets are earmarked for projects in the City based on long -term goals and the management of City infrastructure. She cited staffs long -term vision and goals, and thinks it's what sets Pleasanton apart from other cities. Councilmember Sullivan hoped for public participation at workshops and voiced the need for a plan to fairly consider all interests. He recognized staff for their work in making the Operating and CIP budgets work given the very difficult economic times. Mr. Fialho clarified that the City is currently in a collective bargaining process. The Council has provided parameters to staff based on community input and is working to implement this collaboratively with the unions. He thinks Councilmember Sullivan's comments regarding a roadmap for sustainability long -term applies to a "going- forward" basis as staff approaches other contract renewals and a plan that is sustainable for the City.
