Manassas residents given options to make their opinions known on proposed city budget
In light of the current advisories surrounding the COVID-19 virus, Patty Prince, Communications Director for the City of Manassas reports the Manassas City Council has developed methods for residents to social distance and still give input into the FY 2021 Budget process.
On April 27, 2020 at 7:30 in City Hall the Manassas City Council will hold public hearings on the proposed FY 2021 Operating Budget, 5-year Capital Improvement Program and Tax Rates.
Members of the public are encouraged to submit comments to the City Council by visiting http://www.manassascity.org/comment
, mailing a letter to City Clerk’s Office, Room 101, at 9027 Center Street, Manassas, Virginia or by calling 703/257-8211.
If a citizen would like to attend the public hearing in person, the City requests that he or she complete the online form at the above link and select the “in person” option for commenting. Electronic or written comments should be received no later than Friday, April 24, 2020, at 5 P.M. All written/electronic comments will be provided to City Council and included in the meeting minutes.
The proposed FY 2021 Operating Budget and the 5-Year Capital Improvement Program can be viewed at http://www.manassascity.org/budget
or a physical copy can be requested by calling 703/257-8211.
By creating alternative methods to comment, it is the hope of the City of Manassas that this will allow our residents to continue to social distance and stay safe, while giving them a voice in the City government operations.
