SUMMARY:
City Council is currently in the process of recruiting for the position of Strategic Budget Planner for the City Council. However, given the time needed to finalize this process and given that the City is currently within the FY20 budgetary cycle, as well as the learning curve needed for any new employee, the City Council may desire to engage the services of a consultant to assist.
In December 2017, the City Council hired Wilhelm “Butch” Hansen as its Strategic Budget Planner. In August of 2018 Mr. Hansen resigned his position to run for political office.
Mr. Hansen is now available to serve as a consultant regarding the Council budget and budgetary process.
