Public invited to Concord budget hearing June 28
The Concord City Council will hold the second and final public hearing on the 2011-12 City Budget on Tuesday evening, June 28 at 6:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at the Civic Center, 1950 Parkside Dr. The City’s fiscal year runs from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012. The public is invited to attend the meeting.
The City’s budget picture is much improved this year over the last several years, thanks to passage of Measure Q, the half-cent sales tax increase approved by voters last November. While the additional revenue will not restore any of the program reductions experienced over the last two years, it will preserve service delivery at current levels.
The budget hearing will be televised live on Concord Cable TV channel 28 (Comcast), channel 29 (Astound) and channel 99 (AT&T U-verse). The broadcasts are also available online at www.cityofconcord.org, both in real time and archived for future viewing. To view the meeting live, select “Watch TV” in the “Video and TV” box.
The budget hearing agenda and staff report will be available on the City’s website, www.cityofconcord.org, by Friday, June 24. For more information, contact the City Clerk’s Office, (925) 671-3495.
