Community Budget Meeting Presentation

During the Community Budget Meeting on Saturday, June 3, we addressed important questions about:

How is the city doing financially?
Where does the city's funding come from?
What is the city spending its funding on?
Where would you like to see more spending?

We would like to thank all the community members who participated in our budget survey and attended the Community Budget Meeting. The results of the survey indicated that city infrastructure and park improvements, as well as mental health services, were among the top priorities. These findings were taken into account when preparing for the upcoming fiscal year's budget.
