Aspen City Council on Monday got its first look at the municipal government\u2019s 2020 budget<\/a>, which is estimated to be just shy of $105 million.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s nearly 13% lower than the 2019 budget, said City Finance Director Pete Strecker.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because there were big capital items like the city\u2019s new office building<\/a> and affordable housing projects<\/a> that were earmarked in this year\u2019s budget, he noted.<\/p>\n

Strecker and other city department heads spent over three hours during Monday\u2019s work session<\/a> explaining to council the nuances of the budget and how each department works.<\/p>\n

There are five work sessions scheduled this month that dive into the budget in detail, with specific department\u2019s expenditures and revenues outlined.<\/p>\n

They are scheduled for Oct. 14, 15, 21, 28 and 29.<\/p>\n

Council is expected adopt the budget on Nov. 26, with a first reading Nov. 12.<\/p>\n

The budget has to be certified by no later than Dec. 15.<\/p>\n
