From a press release:
As the City Council begins another year of budget planning, we want to start the process by reaching out to the citizens of Peoria for input on where they would like to see their tax dollars invested.
Mayor Jim Ardis said, “It is vital that citizens have a voice in how their tax dollars are invested. The members of City Council and I are encouraging citizens to give their input at the beginning of the budget process so that their needs and vision are taken into consideration.”
Two open houses have been scheduled to allow the community the opportunity to share their ideas on the 2009 budget. Both meetings are on Monday, August 4, 2008, and are scheduled at two different times to accommodate more schedules. Citizens can drop in during those time periods.
