We're still more than a month away from public meetings on the budget, but Shreveport department heads have been fast at work since July, according to Mayor Cedric Glover's office.
Discussions started then between them and mayoral and City Council staff. Department heads get to propose changes from last year. Whether their numbers go up and down will depend largely, of course, on projected sales tax revenue, among other factors.
The next major step will be to schedule budget review sessions. Council members will go department-by-department listening to director pitches. That generally happens in October.
Public hearings on the full document happen on or before Nov. 15. The charter requires the council to approve a budget by Dec. 15.
