DOVER—
Residents are invited to a special presentation on how the City’s budget is prepared and proposed during the “Budget Revealed” event on Thursday, March 31, 2011.
City Manager J. Michael Joyal, Jr., will lead the presentation, which will detail how the City’s budget is created, funded and managed. “Budget Revealed” is intended to provide residents and taxpayers with a deeper knowledge of the City’s budget process and how City services and programs are funded, including general government, public safety, culture and recreation, human services, public works and education. City department heads will also be on hand during the presentation.
The presentation will conclude with a question-and-answer session.
“Budget Revealed” will begin on March 31 at 6:30 p.m., at the Media Access Center, Room 306, the McConnell Center. The public is invited to attend. Please RSVP to Colleen Bessette in the City Manager’s office by calling 516-6023 or e-mailing c.bessette@dover.nh.gov.
The presentation will air later on Channel 22 and be available on the City’s website.
“Budget Revealed” is an outreach effort to engage the community in the budget process. In addition to the presentation, residents and taxpayers are encouraged to participate in an online survey that seeks input on budget priorities. The survey can be accessed at http://www.dover.nh.gov/doverdollars.
Residents and taxpayers can also offer input by contributing to the popular Dover Dollars ballot boxes. Taxpayers receive tokens in the amount of $100, which they can place in any of 46 boxes that represent City services and programs. The Dover Dollars tokens are available in the City Manager’s office at City Hall.
The Dover Dollars online survey and ballot boxes conclude on April 8.
The City Manager will present a proposed budget to the City Council in April.
