City Begins Budget Process

February 1st, 2010 at Mon, 1st, 2010 at 11:52 am by John Marchione

In 2010, we will tackle our biennial budget for 2011/2012.  This will be the second time the City will go through it’s budgeting process using the Budgeting by Priorities (BP) model.  In 2008, we asked the community to help establish our priorities (based on what you said was important) and sought community input on what services and programs we should perform.  BP starts again with a community meeting on March 1, from 7 to 8:30pm in the Council Chambers of City Hall.

Please come to learn about the results of our first BP process and help clarify the community’s needs for 2011 and 2012.  I hope to see you on March 1 at 7pm.

John Marchione John has served as Mayor of Redmond since January 2008. Prior to that, John spent four years on the Redmond City Council. John’s family moved to Redmond when he was four. Since then, John has called Redmond his home.
