A second workshop for public input regarding the FY 2008 Budget is scheduled for Monday, August 13, 2007 at 7:00 PM in the City Commission Chamber. The purpose of the workshop is to provide an update on the development of the FY 2008 Annual Budget in response to property tax reform measures that were recently adopted by the State of Florida. Information regarding various proposed strategies in response to reduced ad valorem and other revenue sources will be presented. Public input regarding revenue options and potential program reductions currently under consideration will be sought as well. Police programs being considered for reduction in funding or complete elimination include DARE, PAL, and the Aviation Unit.
This is the second such workshop for the City Commission. We mentioned the previous one a couple of weeks ago. The public is once again encouraged to attend.
Also, a workshop for the City Commission to discuss input from public meetings on July 25th and August 13th is scheduled for Tuesday, August 14, 2007 at 10:00 AM in the City Commission Conference Room. The public is invited to attend this meeting as well.
