The Alexandria City Council will hold a retreat meeting on November 2, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at Alexandria Renew Enterprises (1800 Limerick St.), to discuss the Fiscal Year 2021 General Fund Operating Budget planning process and develop City Council’s Calendar Year 2020 Work Program. 

During the budget portion of the retreat, City Council will be briefed on the City’s financial outlook, employee compensation issues, and Alexandria City Public Schools operating budget projections; and receive input from the City’s Budget and Fiscal Affairs Advisory Committee.

City Council will also participate in a discussion to develop its 2020 Work Program, which will identify the policies and initiatives City Council is committed to working on during the calendar year.
