My Daily Schedule

As I wrote in a previous blog post, I am working predominantly with the Finance Director of the City Manager's office in AJ to put together the Annual Budget Book for Fiscal Year 2014/2015. My typical daily schedule is as follows:

• Read through e-mails and updates to the budget book that I receive from the Finance Director and respond to all other e-mails from city staff to experience other learning opportunities (ex. tours, meetings, etc.).
• Work on updating a section of the budget book (see FY 2011/2012 for an example). The bulk of the section that I will be editing is the "Department Expenditures / Data" section that gives an overview of the costs for each department as well as details such as the mission, goals, and performance measures for each department.
• Participate in other learning opportunities (ex. tours of city facilities, attend a meeting, researching other city documents, etc.)
• Meet one-on-one with city staff to ask questions and discuss options for the projects that I am working on

So far I have been enjoying my time at the AJ City Manager's Office and I am exciting for everything that is in store for my future.
