Hide AdCllr Dawe revealed work will take place to look at the idea of reform. She said: "I know that our new chief executive did some innovative work on budgets in Aberdeen and I'm sure it will be a decision we will have to make on how we can improve the process once we get this budget through."
The full budget for 2011-12 is due to be decided at the City Chambers on Thursday.
