REMINDER: USE BUDGET ENGAGEMENT TOOL TO PROVIDE INPUT TO MAYOR AND TUCSON CITY COUNCIL - The City of Tucson has a Budget Engagement Tool in English and Spanish to provide a summary of the budget and gather public input. Community members can assign discretionary funds to different areas of the City’s budget. You'll find information about the Fiscal Year 2022 (FY22) Tentative Budget for departments that provide direct services to the community and the City. After review of the city manager's proposed funding distribution, you'll have an opportunity to share how you would distribute funds to these departments. The Mayor and Council will review the feedback from this process, budget town hall meetings, and the city manager's recommendation prior to adopting the FY22 Budget. The full recommended budget has been posted to the City’s website, and public hearings will be held June 8 and June 22 before the final adoption on June 22.
