The City of San Antonio has kicked off their FY 2017 Budget Outreach Campaign, and the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce invites you to provide input. Each year, city staff works with residents and city leaders to ensure the city’s annual Operating & Capital Budget is financially balanced and reflects the priorities of the community. As a result of feedback gathered in 2015 for the FY2016 budget, City Council adopted a budget that increased spending on street maintenance by $23 million. There are 832 projects planned, and as of April 22, 392 have been completed. The Transportation and Capital Improvements department is on track to complete all projects by the end of the fiscal year.
This year, the city has made it even easier for residents to voice their opinions. Following is the link that contains the official survey and additional information about the budget process: www.saspeakup.com
Comments on the budget can also be submitted to the City’s Facebook page, www.facebook.com/SASpeakUp or on Instagram and Twitter by using the hashtag #SASpeakUp.
