Menlo Park City Council is currently setting its priorities and creating budgets for the 2015 fiscal year that begins on July 1. This multi-month process will determine what improvement projects will be either evaluated, planned, budgeted or started before June 30, 2016. Since ALL phases of individual projects require funding progress can be made only those that are included in the capital expenditure budget. So decisions made between now and the end of June will determine how much progress can be made on implementing the city’s Specific Plan next year.

Residents should take advantage of the opportunities to shape the City Council’s thinking and decisions.
