After a multi-month, coronavirus-inspired break, the All Up In Your Business podcast is back with a special miniseries: Four episodes that focus on College Station’s Fiscal Year 2021 proposed budget.
We’re calling it All Up In Your Budget.
Fiscal Services Director Mary Ellen Leonard joins me to dissect and explain the city’s 330-page budget document, including changes caused by COVID-19, how sustainable we think those are, and what it means to our residents. This budget year is like no other, and we want to make sure residents and taxpayers understand what’s in it, what’s not in it, and why.
A public hearing on the budget will be part of Thursday’s city council meeting, with budget adoption scheduled for Aug. 27. Thursday’s meeting will be streamed live starting at 6 p.m. on Suddenlink Channel 19 and at cstx.gov/cstv19. To join online, go to Zoom or call 888-475-4499 and enter meeting number 945 5259 1668. Public comments will be allowed through Zoom.
