Budget 2010

Believe it or not - it is nearly budget time. The Budget Transmittal Letter from the City Manager to Department Heads will be going out late June or the first week of July. The City Manager's Budget is submitted to the City Council on October 31.

At this point, I would love to hear your comments, questions or suggestions as we begin to make preparations for this next budget cycle. Where should our priorities be in 2010? What is important to you? Which programs are most important?

We will have some tough decisions to make on 2009 and 2010. We are expecting a revenue shortfall of around $500,000 depending on the State Budget. This will carry over to 201o as well.

Please, it is important that we hear from our residents early in the process and especially during the December budget hearing.

Call or email with questions. Thanks!

Master Plan Survey - Time is Running Out - May 11 Deadline

Please take a moment to fill out the Master Plan survey. May 11th is the final day to complete the survey!

Your answers will help the City's Planning Board and Planning Department craft a Master Plan and Zoning Ordinance amendment that reflects what residents want for their City.

The survey may take some time to complete (perhaps 15 minutes), but we hope you'll find the time well spent. It's an investment in Lebanon's future, and the City needs everyone's opinions.

Thank you again for your time and your ideas!
