This fall, the City will kick off the Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 budget process with a series of community meetings to gather input on budget priorities. City Council will hear the results of these efforts at its annual retreat in November as members develop their FY 2017 budget guidance to the City Manager.
The meetings will provide an overview of the FY 2017 budget process and some of the major budgetary challenges currently faced by the City. After this brief overview, participants will break out into small facilitated groups to discuss budget priorities for FY 2017 and how to stay engaged in the budget process.
All Alexandria residents and business representatives are encouraged to participate on one of the dates listed below. Each meeting will follow the same format and cover the same material.
Those unable to attend in person may participate online at a virtual table, using live streaming video and text chat to watch the meeting and engage with other online participants.
*To encourage participation in the City's upcoming Budget Community Meetings, the City is providing child care services (children ages 4 and older) for the duration of the meetings on October 15, October 24 and November 4. Please reserve your spot by completing this form.
