Report
Summary
Due to the statewide restrictions on social gatherings, the community budget hearings that were scheduled from April 2 through April 22 had to be cancelled. However, residents still have the opportunity to provide feedback via phone, email or through the City’s new online budget tool, FundPHX. All comments and messages are summarized and forwarded in City Council reports. We are currently working on a public engagement process to elicit feedback on potential budget reductions should those become necessary. That process will likely take place in June or July.
