Participatory Budgeting Events

The participatory budgeting process involves a series of meetings that feed into the city’s annual budget cycle. For 2011-2012 the process has six main steps, starting in October 2011 and continuing into 2012.

Delegate Orientations: November 2011
Delegates selected at the assemblies learn about the budget process, project development, and key spending areas, then form committees.

Delegate Meetings: November 2011 - February 2012
Delegates meet in committees to transform the community’s initial project ideas into full proposals, with support from Council Member staff and other experts.
