The city of Rochester is seeking residents’ input on its next budget.
This is the kickoff to the city budgeting process. The mayor typically releases a budget proposal in May, for the fiscal year beginning July 1. Residents can help set priorities through an online survey that has been a regular process the administration has gone through since Evans took office. The survey will remain open through Nov. 9.
The city also has scheduled a series of in-person outreach events:
- Community Resource Fair, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 19, at 63 Thomas St.
- ROC the Block Community Employment Fair, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 23, at Parcel 5, 285 E. Main St.
- MVP Healthcare Fall Festival, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26, at Parcel 5.
- Westside Farmers Market, 4 to 7 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 6, in the St. Monica’s Church parking lot, 831 Genesee St.
- The Rochester Public Market, 8:30 to 11 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 10, 280 N. Union St.
Residents also can sign up on the city's website for the annual telephone town hall scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 26.
