East Area Mayor's Budget Meeting -- Thursday, Nov 1 - 6:15 pm (Regional)

Calling on all East Area NCs to get involved in the Mayor's Budget Process.

This regional meeting will help you to understand the annual budget process, the important dates and milestones, teach you how to become effectively engaged.

We will have Ellen Sandt from the CAOs office to walk us through the more complicated parts of the budget.

Please visit the Mayor's web page at the link below to study the past Budget Day presentations and other important information.
