Wednesday, June 30
NOTE: SPECIAL START TIME OF 6 PM (council meetings normally begin at 7 pm)
City Hall, 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City
The purpose of this meeting is for the members of the City Council to take further public comment on the recommended budget for fiscal years 2010/12, and engage in deliberation and discussion toward finalizing the budget. At the conclusion of public comment and deliberations, the Council will give staff direction to prepare a final budget, for adoption at its meeting of July 12.
The meeting is starting early in order to allow ample time for community members to speak about the elements of the recommended budget and provide the Council with their thoughts, opinions, and suggestions. The proposed budget is available online at www.redwoodcity.org/budget .
The recommended budget includes reductions in expenditures totaling about $6.4 million, made through a combination of programmatic cuts and staff reductions. More information on the scope of the necessary reductions is available in the June 8 news release on the recommended budget, located online (www.redwoodcity.org/manager/news/2010/pr_mgr_budget2.html).
