City Budget Community Meeting!
It is that time of year again when I begin to formulate my Executive Operating Budget for the coming year. Madison continues to be faced with the constraints of limited revenue options, levy limits, and continuing cost pressures for services, calling on us to be even more strategic in determining how resources are allocated.
As I prepare to make decisions regarding the 2016 Executive Operating Budget I ask you to take part in a Community Budget Conversation regarding next year’s budget.
This year’s Community Budget Conversation will take place Tuesday, July 14, at the Central Library from 6:00-7:30 pm. This year we will use a new interactive session focused on prioritizing spending to ensure budget decisions are consistent with achieving our goals for Madison.
Please share information regarding this event with members of your organization and neighborhood encouraging them to take part. This is an important opportunity for community members to share feedback prior to the release of the 2016 Executive Budget.
If you have questions regarding this event, please contact Laura Larsen in the Finance Department at 608-266-4671.
I look forward to seeing you on July 14th.
Sincerely,
Paul R. Soglin
Mayor
