I received a request on July 23 from Council President Pantele to discuss the 2009 Budget and have replied to his letter in advance of our meeting Friday, July 25. This request came the same day as a request from Council members McQuinn and Robertson to also sit and discuss the budget.

You can view both the intial email and my reply.
