                   season it is? “Duck season,            The Glendale City Council will hold its second public budget study session

                   year, I would say that the budget                 Verdugo 10K Is This Sunday!
                   is what defines Glendale and what
                   serves as the most important
                   guiding policy document. Simply
                   put, it determines the services we
                   provide, how much each service
                   gets, and how it is paid for. These
                   services are used and depended
                   upon on a daily basis - it is the
                   shower we turn on to get ready for
                   work, the streets or public
                   transportation we use to get to
                   work, and the parks we play in.

                   Months in advance, the Finance
                   Department in coordination with
                   my office and all department
                   directors created a recommended
                   budget. This all-encompassing
                   recommendation is then
                   submitted to the City Council.
                   After receiving the
                   recommendation in April, the City
                   Council reviews and discusses
                   the content in budget study
                   sessions and holds a budget
                   hearing to provide an opportunity
                   for input.

                   Your City Council goes through
                   this process with great care.
                   When reviewing and while
                   deliberating, they clearly discuss
                   the objectives, quantify the
                   results, explore alternatives,
                   evaluate the methodology, and
                   make adjustments as necessary.
                   Tough decisions are made at the
                   dais. The steps that we take to
                   prepare and discuss the budget
                   will provide Council the best
                   possible information to arrive at
                   the best decision.
                                                         It's not too late to register for the 9th Annual Verdugo Mountains 10K Trail Run
