Members of council will have to make cuts unless we go with Budgeting for Outcomes. This involves: 1. Determining the price of government (how much revenue will be available?) 2. Determining the priorities of government (what results matter most to citizens?) 3. Deciding the price for each priority result (how much we should spend to achieve each result?) 4. Deciding how best to deliver each priority result at the set price (delivering what citizens expect)
