COMMUNITY SURVEY on BUDGET PRIORITIES / What Matters Most to You?
July 2, 2010 - As we all continue to face a challenging economic climate, the City must make some very difficult decisions related to changes in services.
You can help by completing the Community Survey on Budget Priorities, so the City Council can obtain broad community input and better understand your priorities. Tough decisions must be made with the best possible idea of public opinion.
YOUR INPUT IS ESSENTIAL
Your input throughout this process is essential, as the City strives to maintain a strong financial position while providing a sustainable level of services and still meeting the needs of the community. As you complete the survey, please keep in mind “nothing is free.” The City has limited funds and every single program or service has a cost. Work through this survey with careful thought and consideration, understanding that everything cannot be marked important........
We know everything seems important,
but what is essential, and what is just nice to have?
City Hall is located at 321 E. 5th Street in Port Angeles, just across the street from the Clallam County Courthouse.
