Fun with the ATX budget
Monday, May 14, 2018 by Katy McElroy
In an effort to make the budget process open and inclusive, the city is hosting a number of engagement opportunities for the public. The budget office has made a teaser video, which we have embedded below, and there is also an online survey, which you can take here to share your budget priorities with city staff. The first citywide in-person meeting, moderated by Mayor Steve Adler and City Manager Spencer Cronk, is scheduled for May 15, 6:30-8:30 p.m., at the Central Library. In addition, each district’s City Council member is having their own talk throughout May and June, with the city manager also in attendance. Visit austintexas.gov/budget for the dates and locations of these meetings, as well as the planned public hearings and commission meetings.
