Welcome to city budget week
Monday, August 9, 2021 by Elizabeth Pagano
City Council is set to adopt the city budget this week. Council members are scheduled to meet Aug. 11, 12 and 13, though the adoption could take place on any of those days. Those interested in a nuts-and-bolts preview of the discussion might want to head over to the City Council Message Board for a sneak peek at the amendments various Council members will propose. The less masochistic among us can tune in to Channel 6 or ATXN, where the budget meetings will be broadcast live, with a scheduled start time of 10 a.m. each day.
