On August 25th, the City Council will consider adoption of its 2009-2010 budget. The State has indicated its intention to take Property Tax, Redevelopment Agency Funds and other revenues from the City. The City Council, the Interim City Manager, staff and financial consultant have spent many hours of effort in budget revisions and project deferments to try and balance the budget and still maintain services.

You can view the draft budget at www.fillmoreca.com/budget.htm or request a copy from the City Clerk’s office.
The budget will guide the city in the next fiscal year. You may have comments or suggestions on the financing of the parks, theatre, library, streets and other infrastructure.

Community input and feedback are important—you are urged to contact your council members for more information. Also, the community is urged to attend the August 25th Council meeting if you would like to provide input.
