On June 11, 2009, a Community Workshop was scheduled to provide information on how cities are funded and where the tax dollars they pay go. This Workshop was a precursor to the City Council's consideration of the 2009-2011 Preliminary Budget. The presentation was called "Community Workshop on Municipal Finance." This Workshop was designed to demystify municipal finance and to enhance the public's understanding of how monies flow to and from the City. The materials from the Workshop may be accessed below:
