It was an opportunity for many of the city departments to showcase themselves. They were able to efficiently inform the audience about what each division does and why it is important to the basic workings of our community. I think that it did a good job helping people to understand where their local tax dollars go and why. It was generous of so many city staff to be present. Although no line items were discussed, there was an obvious front-and-center showing from people in support of maintaining/improving cycling infrastructure
You can get much of the information that was presented at the meeting online. http://www.cityofmadison.com/budgetProcess/conversations.cfm There are still 2 of the 5 meetings left this year that you can participate in. http://www.cityofmadison.com/budgetProcess/conversations.cfm If you aren't able to make it to any of the 5 meetings, there is an online survey that I urge everyone to take. http://www.cityofmadison.com/budgetProcess/survey.cfm The mayor put forth that he wants public input to be a part of the budget process even earlier in the process next year- before the departments propose their budgets. Soglin said that he plans to schedule be public input/discussion meetings beginning next spring for the 2013 budget. -india On Tue, Aug 16, 2011 at 10:07 PM, Aaron Crandall <[email protected]> wrote: > I wasn't able to make it to the "conversation" tonight & so was just > wondering what I missed, to those of you who were able to attend.
