2. Presentation of The Proposed Annual Operating Budget for FY 1999-2000 (including Schools) and The Proposed Capital Improvements Program for FY 2000-2005 (including the Schools CIP).

City Manager Lawson presented her Budget Message.

General Discussion. Members of Council directed questions to City Manager Lawson, made comments, and congratulated staff for doing a good job.

Councilman Speck requested consideration of designating some money in Contingent Reserve to examine and look at the concept of a City Development Office, one that would be specifically under the City government's responsibility to solicit and seek out private and philanthropic support for our capital projects. This would be separate and distinct from anything we would support for the Community Foundation.

Vice Mayor Euille stated, with the large percentage of Hispanic population increasing in the City, there is a sincere need, in collaboration with the public school system, to do all that we can do to develop a very positive and constructive ESL Program.
