   (B)   The Clerk-Treasurer shall prepare an itemized estimate of revenues available for the ensuing budget year, and shall prepare an itemized estimate of expenditures for other purposes above the money proposed to be used by the departments.
   (C)   The Town Manager shall meet with the department heads and the Clerk-Treasurer to review and revise their various estimates.
   (D)   After the Town Manager’s review and revision, the Clerk- Treasurer shall prepare for the President of the Town Council a report of the estimated department budgets, miscellaneous expenses, and revenues necessary or available to finance the estimates.

   The Clerk-Treasurer shall present the report of budget estimates to the Town Council under IC 6-1.1-17-1 through 6-1.1-17-19.
