The scheduled Finance Committee meeting for Monday at 6 p.m. to discuss a pay raise for city employees in fiscal year 2014-15 has been canceled.“There really isn’t a need to have a Finance Committee meeting Monday night so I canceled it,” said Alderman Ken Smith.Smith says he scheduled the meeting with the intent of getting a jump on budget discussions for fiscal year 2014-15 with fellow committee members Mike Neal and Ben Newman, but those plans have changed.“Mike has changed how he is going to handle the budget this year,” said Smith. “He is encouraging all the committee chairs to follow the same procedure the Safety Committee is going to do.”Last year, Finance Committee members met, reviewed the proposed departmental budgets, and made adjustments. Then, the Finance Committee presented the budgets in joint committee meetings to prospective committees for approval (Parks and Recreation Department budget to Parks and Recreation Committee, etc.). Once approved, the overall budget was sent to the full board for its consideration.The Safety Committee, of which Neal is chairman, oversees McMinnville Police Department and McMinnville Fire Department.
