City to hold open 'town-hall' style operating-budget session March 8
Summary
Staff announced an open town-hall style session for operating-budget input on March 8 at 6:30 p.m., signaling a shift toward year-round, flexible engagement in lieu of relying solely on polling; staff said they may resume targeted polling if revenue options or initiatives change.
City staff said they will change how they solicit public input on the operating budget, moving toward an open, town-hall style session format rather than relying only on targeted polling tied to council strategic categories.
Robin said the city will host an open operating-budget discussion on March 8 at 6:30 p.m. in council chambers and indicated staff plans to try similar outreach throughout the year to avoid cramming input into a single 'budget week.' Staff noted it may return to polling in the future if revenue options improve or specific initiatives emerge that require prioritization.
