Description
Press release from the City of Novato:
February 24, 2021
The City's Fiscal Year 2021/2022 budget season is underway, and we want your input on this year's budget development process!
In September 2020, while addressing the City's $5.7 million deficit, the Novato City Council made the difficult decision to approve over $3.5 million in budget cuts, including reductions to both services to the community and staffing levels. Even with these decisions, the ongoing deficit is projected to be $2.1 million this fiscal year.
With the social and economic impacts of COVID-19 on our community, your feedback during the City's annual budget planning is more important than ever. Please take our brief survey to let us know how we can better engage you and what you would like to see as part of this year's budget process at novato.org/opennovato. Survey closes on Friday, March 5 at 5pm.
In addition to this survey, the City will be launching its annual City Budget community priorities survey in mid-March.
Sign up to receive notifications on the City's budget process, view dates for upcoming budget workshops and meetings, and review previous budgets at novato.org/budget.
