City Budget Presentation Session:

Join us TONIGHT, Monday, August 17, for a special budgeting presentation for Chamber members led by Administrator Martig. It will be held at City Hall at 6:00 pm. We have the opportunity to submit questions ahead of time and there will be time following the presentation for Q&A.

Understanding the City's budget helps businesses see how public dollars are benig prioitized and how those decisions affect services, infrastructure, taxes and our community's future. Providing input gives the community a voice in those priorities. Please join me on Monday.
