Commission Budget Retreat 06.24.13

I am in between meetings - came from the budget retreat - going to the commission meeting.

Today's budget retreat was held in Conference Room C of the Municipal meeting. I uploaded the podcast and is available here.

Rob O'Donnell, from solutions 21, facilated again. Rob started out with the results of the commissioner survey.

Love the windfall question.  Tonight, we will start discussions about the unassigned fund balance. Ranked in commissioners' priority order:

1. Community Development
2. Public Works
3. Public Safety
4. Recreation
5. General Government
6. Human Services

You may remember a LeboALERT for a Public Satisfaction Survey. Results from the satisfaction level from services are here.  Fire, Library, Police are ranked at Meets My Expectations.  Public Works came out at Don't Care, and Recreation came in dead last caring less than Public Works. Tonight, the Sports Advisory Board (Turf Board) will be making their presentation at the Discussion Session.

Another question for the Public included:
"What ONE THING would make Mt. Lebanon better?"  The four page list can be found here.  I enjoyed reading the one about eliminating the PIO.  That one didn't even come from me! I want to say that there were 146 reponses, but don't quote me on that. I guess someone needs to count them for me or listen to the podcast. I have been told that the Municipality will be posting the video on their website.
