Tempe budget community forums in November

Tempe community members are invited to attend either of two forums in November to learn about the city’s projected 2010-2011 fiscal year budget deficit, and about the work currently going on to resolve the issue while continuing to provide high-quality services. Tempe’s residents and other stakeholders also are invited to submit ideas and input online.

The forums are scheduled for:
• Tuesday, Nov. 17, from 6-7:30 p.m., at the City Council Chambers, 31 E. Fifth St.
• Wednesday, Nov. 18, from 6-7:30 p.m., at the Tempe Police South Substation auditorium, 8201 S. Hardy Drive.

For more information on the 2010-11 budget, as well as a feedback form that community members can submit online, visit www.tempe.gov/budgetplan. For those without computer access, hardcopy feedback forms will be available at the forums.

The Nov. 17 forum will be taped by Tempe 11 and made available online the next day at www.tempe.gov/budgetplan, for those who cannot attend. In addition, the Web page features a copy of the presentation that will be made at the community forums.

Tempe also is holding a series of informational forums this week for city employees and retirees.
