Seattle City Council seeks resident feedback at budget public hearings
Seattle – The City of Seattle faces a general fund deficit for 2011, meaning there are some very difficult decisions to be made in the weeks to come. As the City Council works to balance the Seattle's 2011-2012 budget, considerable input from residents is needed to develop a budget that best reflects the needs of our city.
The Seattle City Council invites you to participate in this year's budget process by attending one of the two upcoming public hearings held in South or Central Seattle:
Wednesday, October 13
The Brockey Center at South Seattle Community College
6000 16th Avenue SW, 98106
5:30 p.m. Public Hearing (5 p.m. Sign-in)
**We will have Mandarin and American Sign Language interpreters available at the Oct. 13 budget hearing.
Tuesday, October 26
Seattle City Hall
Council Chambers, 2nd floor
600 Fourth Avenue, 98104
5:30 p.m. Public Hearing (5 p.m. Sign-in)
Budget documents are translated into Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, Somali, Spanish, and Tagalog and are available online at http://seattle.gov/council/translated_docs.htm. If you are planning on attending one of our budget hearings and need interpretation assistance, please call 206-684-8888.
If you can't make it to a budget hearing, please share your ideas online:
· Visit our IdeaScale page at seattlecitycouncil.ideascale.com. Here you can share, comment and vote for ideas on how to balance the budget, with the most essential ideas rising to the top. We are continuously reviewing this feedback and will respond to the most popular ideas.
- Submit your thoughts about the budget using our online comment form. Emails received will be tallied and shared with each Councilmember to keep them updated on issues important to you.
