Looking for something exciting to do with your Saturday afternoons?
For the next three weeks, at least, the Springfield City Council has got you covered: starting tomorrow (May 8), the Council will hold a series of marathon meetings to discuss the municipal budget for the coming fiscal year. The weekend meetings were scheduled in an attempt to make them more accessible to residents than the typical workday City Hall meeting.
The meetings will start at noon, and will be held at the High School of Science and Technology, at 1250 State St.
Each meeting will address the budgets of multiple city departments; tomorrow’s agenda includes the spending plans for the School Department, Elections Commission, the Mayor’s Office, the City Council and City Clerk, and several municipal finance departments.
A complete list of when each department’s budget will be taken up by the Council is available at City Hall’s online calendar.
