STAFF REPORT

Kyle Mayor Lucy Johnson will host a town hall meeting on the municipal budget 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Aug. 4 at City Hall.

Coinciding with the start of her sixth month in office, Johnson’s meeting is being billed as “Budget Talk,” an opportunity for residents to “voice their concerns over property taxes, city debt and the availability of city services,” according to a press release.

“Since my first meeting as mayor on March 3, council chambers have been filled with residents eager to get involved and have their voices heard. I am eager to encourage this process to continue, and I look forward to hearing the public’s concerns about our upcoming budget,” Johnson said.

The proposed fiscal year 2010-2011 budget will be posted on the city’s website soon, Johnson said.
