Get your popcorn ready to watch some municipal excitement.
The Committee of the Whole will meet on May 16 for members to pull out their red pens to mark up the mayor’s $1.4 billion proposed budget for fiscal year 2025.
This is the last meeting scheduled before the final budget will be presented at the May 20 regular meeting.
The public is welcome to watch but there will be no comments taken at this meeting. There have been two prior meetings where public comment was taken on the proposed budget.
At the meeting, all nine council members will act as a committee to consider and change the mayor’s proposed budget.
