Mayor Mike McGinn will present his 2011 budget today at noon. You can watch the live 2011 City of Seattle Budget Address here.
One of the major discussions throughout this year has been the possible cuts in the Parks Department. While the Queen Anne Community Center and pool made it through mid-year budget cuts without being nicked, the East Queen Anne Wading Pool was bumped down to three days a week. And many community members worry the neighborhood won’t be as lucky next time around.
We’ll be monitoring the speech and will update this post.
There will be a public meeting this Wednesday, September 29th, for the public to comment on the budget at the Northgate Community Center Gym (10510 5th Ave NE). If you’d like to speak, sign-in is at 5 p.m. The meeting begins at 5:30.
