TIMELINE
OF THE UPCOMING HEARINGS ON THE CITY BUDGET:
* The
Budget Committee will take up their input on the Mayor’s Budget Sept 12th at
1:30 PM. The finance team will provide a high-level overview of the recommended
budget.
* This
will be followed by Department hearings starting the next day through the end
of October (listen for when the sustainability department gets its hearing?)
* The
first public hearing on the budget will taken up by the budget committee on Nov
10th at 10 AM
* The
Second Public hearing will be in front of the whole council on Nov 15 at 6 05
PM. For bringing forth any new ideas, we will want to make use of the Nov 15th
public hearing so that the council could have time to make some substantial changes.
* The
Budget Markup hearing, where the council will make changes to the budget (show
up to let them know we are watching) will be on Dec 1 at 10 AM
and will continue on the next day Dec 2nd at 10 AM.
*
Tuesday Dec 6th at 6:05 PM will be the third and final public
hearing followed by a formal vote by the council that same evening. This is the
required truth in taxation hearing. The December 6th Public Hearing is the
opportunity to respond to the results of the budget markup hearings, but the
council will usually have limited options for making any substantial changes at
the final hearing.
