Council had a special Finance Committee meeting on Wednesday of this week for the introduction of our budget.  There was a lot of good discussion about the budget and I think as we work through the budget and projects for the City in 2021 there will be a few changes along the way but it was good to get this process started as it has to be complete by March 31^st of each year.
