Key Budget Committee Recommendations Thurs. May 26 Virtual Meeting
The all important Piedmont Budget Advisory and Financial Planning Committee will meet on Thursday, May 26, 2022, 3:00 p.m., to make recommendations to the Council on taxes and the Budget.
The Committee is unusual, because unlike other Council appointed bodies and despite requirements set out in the City Charter, minutes of the meetings are not kept and approved by the Committee.
“SECTION 6.05 PUBLIC RECORD Minutes for each of such boards and commissions shall be kept as a record of its proceedings and transactions.” Piedmont City Charter
Prior to remote viewing, the Committee meetings were never broadcast and were often held in a small conference room at City Hall. Historically, the Chair produced an unapproved document for Council consideration including recommended taxes and programs.
There are no approved minutes to validate Committee actions and considerations. Conflict of interest statements are not required of the committee members, who were specifically excluded from the requirement.
The May 26 meeting is available for the public remote viewing per the instructions listed in the Agenda linked below. No staff reports were disseminated by the City for public review for this meeting. Public participation is available via teleconference. >>> https://piedmont-ca-gov.zoom.us/j/88279880693
