Budget input deadline looms

This year, the city is asking Austinites about their budget priorities through something they are calling “Budget in a Box 2.0.” The exercise, which is designed for groups of six to 10 people, takes about an hour. According to the city, “The Financial Services Department will mail as many Budget in a Box kits as needed directly to homes, groups or churches/religious organizations. To order a kit(s), go to their website. Alternately, interested residents can watch a video about the exercise. The city is also hosting a series of guided sessions at various locations around town through June 11.
