Summary Minutes: Special City Commission Meeting September 10, 2009 Sunny Isles Beach, Florida First Budget Hearing It was the consensus of the Commission that the Workshops were an important step in the budget process, and they appreciated all the hard work staff did in taking the necessary steps in bringing this budget into balance to make it a model budget. Mayor Edelcup also thanked the Senior Staff for foregoing any salary increase in the coming year, and it set the tone for how the City would deal with the fact that we are looking at the lower revenues coming in. Mayor Edelcup also noted that we have been able to keep the Millage Rate below where it was when he stepped into office, and total balance that we are spending today is very close to what we were spending six years ago, Given all the inflation that has taken place, we have been ahead of the curve in making sure we are spending our dollars wisely and we were able to keep the budget process in line which also permits us to go forth and still increase the parks and the amenities we were able to get for the City.
