El Paraiso314 S McLean BlvdElginIL60123 Budget On-the-Go: Let's Taco 'Bout the BudgetDecember 3, 2019, 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM @ The Haight
Budget On-the-Go: Let's Taco 'Bout the Budget2019-12-03T11:30:00“Budget On-the-Go” is new series of informal meetings where those present can hear from City staff, share what’s important to them and ask staff questions about how Elgin invests its money each year.
With the 2020 budget discussions underway, community members are invited to attend any of these meetings around Elgin to share their priorities for the upcoming budget.
The purpose of these Budget On-the-Go meetings is to provide venues outside of City Hall, where members of the community can come talk and gain an understanding of how their tax dollars are spent to support things that help make Elgin a safe and vibrant community.
"We look forward to getting out into the community to talk about the budget, educate our residents and business owners on the City's investments, gather input and answer questions," said City Manager Rick Kozal. "You don't need to be a subject matter expert to share your ideas for Elgin."
