Interdepartmental Memorandum
Date: November 15, 2010
Time flies when you’re having fun (not!) or when you change budget years. Yes, it is that time
again – Department Budget Requests!!! As you all know, several months ago the City changed
from a “fiscal year” to a “calendar year” municipality for budget purposes. We are currently in a
“six (6) month transition budget” as we prepare for the upcoming “Calendar Year 2011”.
Obviously, it is quickly approaching which means each department must prepare and submit their
budgetary needs for January 1, 2011 – December 31, 2011. Again the City will be facing
another difficult and trying economic period where each department must make significant
budget cuts in salary and operating costs. We as managers must lead by example and find
budgetary solutions without adversely impacting the Jersey City taxpayers.
For months now, the Business Administrator has in detail explained the current financial
conditions of the City. He has also told you to review your department and be prepared to make
difficult decisions during this process. Each Department was provided a targeted number at the
last director’s meeting. Your budget submission needs to reflect that number.
.
As in prior fiscal years, the budget submission process will remain the same with a couple of
exceptions.
