Public Meetings on Salem City Budget Scheduled

Salem residents are invited to attend one of four public meetings in early February to discuss the City's five-year financial forecast and the challenges involved.  

Ongoing efforts to maintain financial stability in the City of Salem General Fund will include further cost reductions of $9.7 million over the five-year forecast given revenue and operating cost trends. The decrease for the next budget year will be approximately $500,000.

Attendees will receive a presentation on the forecast and have the opportunity to ask questions of and provide feedback to the City Manager.

Times and places of the meetings are as follows:

*     Monday 2/4, 7 p.m., West Salem Neighborhood Association, West Salem Roth's
*     Wednesday 2/6, 6 p.m., South Salem High School Library
*     Tuesday 2/12, 6 p.m., Latino presentation, McKay High School
*     Wednesday 2/13, 6 p.m., Center 50+

The February 13 meeting will be shown live on local CCTV and available for streaming at a later date.
