City Budget Engagement Event

The City is facing a significant budget shortfall that will impact services. What City services do you value the most? What is your vision for the future of Madison?

You are invited to join downtown Alders Juliana Bennett (District 2), Mike Verveer (District 4), Marsha Rummel (District 6) and MGR Govindarajan (District 8) for an opportunity to discuss the budget, learn more about the services the City provides, and share your thoughts with elected officials.

Please join us for an interactive session to discuss the 2025 City budget outlook on Thursday, May 30 at 6:00 p.m.

At this event you will:

1. Learn about the challenges facing the City budget, how we got here, and what we can do about it.
2. Find out more about where your tax dollars go and the services the City provides.
3. Participate in small group discussions with your neighbors and alders to share your thoughts and provide feedback about City services, your vision for Madison, and what you would like the alders to consider as they evaluate their options for the 2025 budget.

You have two options for attending the event:

• Attend the event in person at the Madison Municipal Building, Room 215, 215 Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard
• Join the event virtually using your computer, smartphone or tablet, or you can listen in via telephone. You will receive login information after registering at www.cityofmadison.com/budgetengagement-downtown.
