content = """
The city council holds the authority to adopt the budget. The budget planning
agent supports this process with clear materials and responsive analysis.

**Workshop Sessions:** Council meets in workshops to review the proposed budget,
ask questions, and indicate priorities. No formal votes occur; direction is
given for adjustments. Document all verbal guidance.

**Public Hearings:** State law typically requires one or more public hearings
before adoption. Notice must meet statutory requirements. Provide summaries
and schedules so citizens can participate meaningfully.

**Amendments:** Council may adopt amendments during deliberation. Track each
amendment's fiscal impact and ensure the budget remains balanced. Incorporate
amendments into the final document before the adoption vote.

**Adoption Ordinance:** The budget is adopted by ordinance, often with an
accompanying appropriations resolution. The effective date is usually the
first day of the fiscal year. Retain a clean, final version for record.
