The Mayor and City Council voted to approve the budget on Tuesday, February 3rd. The final budget changes were made based on the incredible amount of public input received. More than 1,500 citizens attended the 14 community budget hearings, and over 500 e-mails, voice mails, and letters from concerned residents made it to City Hall. Although not everything could be saved, this is a great example of how the system works in response to the voice of Phoenix residents.
Here are a few budget items that were updated after public input:
Restore a number of Phoenix Afterschool Center (PAC) Sites
Restore Dial-a-Ride for Seniors and Non-ADA Disabled
Restore Six Small Recreation / Teen Centers
Partially Restore Graffiti Reduction
Partially Restore Funding for Phoenix Center for the Arts / Shemer
