I need some feedback in two separate areas related to budgeting. 1) The City of Burbank anticipates incorporating performance measures into the adopted FY 2000-01 budget. I have samples from some jurisdictions and two books from GFOA. Earlier this year there was a seminar on this topic in Long Beach but I don't know who was the sponsor. I have contacted GFOA about offering something in the Southern California area. Does anyone know of any upcoming seminars in the Greater Los Angeles area within the coming year? Along those lines, I am told if there were sufficient member interest in a member-oriented seminar on this topic - I will forward info to the Career Development Committee. 2) Are there budget programs out there (outside of your general financial systems) to assist with budget preparation? Please provide the program name, any vendor contact information, your satisfaction level with the program; reporting capabilities and if any of these reports are integrated directly into your budget documents. I realize it is probably pretty busy with budget hearings, but if I could have results by Friday, June 9. I will summarize info to circulate to the group. Thank you.
