The city of South Bend wants to know what its residents want money spent on in 2020.
The city holds a resident input budget meeting like this every spring as a chance for people to tell them if they want more spent on parks and trails, or streetlights, public safety or any of the other things South Bend pays for each year.
Daniel Parker is the city’s controller. “We are entrusted with taxpayer dollars so we want to make sure we’re being responsive to what residents need.”
The meeting will begin with a presentation about the budget process, followed by break-out session of small groups where city administrators will hear from the attendees.
The budget will be created over the summer and presented to the council in August and September. It has to be finalized by October 31st.
Wednesday evening’s meeting starts at 6 in the Bendix Theatre at the Century Center.
