The Budget is Here!

Last Thursday, the mayor held the State of Metro at James Lawson High School.

Feel free to view the State of Metro address by following this link. During the address, the mayor mentions a few areas his budget will focus on.

The budget process began yesterday, May 1, for the council. The mayors office and the Director of Finance shared a presentation with the budget and finance committee. The budget will be on first reading May 16. We will then host budget hearings with each department between May 17 -24. Second reading and public hearing for the budget on June 6. And finally, the budget should be approved by June 20, however, by Metro charter, we must have it completed by June 30.
