The Alexandria City Council will hold a virtual retreat meeting on November 7, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., to discuss the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Operating Budget process and develop the City Council Work Program for calendar year 2021.

During the budget portion of the meeting, City Council will be briefed on the City’s financial outlook and Alexandria City Public Schools operating budget projections; receive input from the City’s Budget and Fiscal Affairs Advisory Committee; and begin to discuss FY 2022 Budget Guidance, which will be considered and adopted at City Council’s November 10 meeting. 

City Council will also work on development of its 2021 Work Program, which will identify the policies and initiatives the council is committed to working on during the calendar year. Once approved, the 2021 Work Program will serve as a “living document” for City Council, subject to periodic amendment.
