Mayor And Council Agenda 2/11/08 Available

The agenda for the next meeting of the Mayor and Council, >Monday, February 11, 2008 at Rockville City Hall, has been posted to the City’s website. It is available here. (My understanding is that, if the agenda is amended, that same link will reflect the changes.)

This upcoming meeting, since it is a worksession, will not be televised on The Rockville Channel, though (I am led to believe) it is open to the public. Those who have time may wish to attend, as there is an important item set for discussion: details on the next fiscal year’s budget, for FY2009.

Some have asked the Mayor and Council to rethink their recent decision to stop televising such worksessions, a decision they took in order to create an atmosphere more conducive to getting work done.

In any event, for those who cannot personally attend this meeting, here is a note from staff that may serve to reduce anxiety:

Tonight’s presentation seeks the Mayor and Council’s concurrence with the current direction of budget preparation, specifically the FY 2009 enterprise fund rates (with the exception of the water rates). There will be other opportunities for the Mayor and Council to provide additional guidance and direction during the public hearings, scheduled for March 31, 2008 and April 14, 2008, and/or during the next Mayor and Council worksessions, scheduled for April 28, 2008 and May 5, 2008.

That is, this is not the only time the budget will be considered, and there will be public input opportunities.

That one the day before Tax Day sounds like a hoot.
