It’s that time of year again when officials will layout the basics to the public regarding City Hall’s upcoming budget.
City of Santa Monica Finance Director Steve Stark has a return engagement with the Leadership Series on Thursday, Jan. 12, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., to lay out budget basics just as public hearings begin, featuring an in-depth review of Santa Monica’s budget development process. No jargon here — get the fundamentals, in easy-to-understand language, of how revenues, expenditures and funding mechanisms work together to provide and maintain city services and programs.
The session of the Leadership Series will be held at the Ken Edwards Center, 1527 Fourth St. Courses and material are free, but advanced registration is required, which can be done on-line at www.smgov.net/leadership or by calling (310) 458- 8301; for those with hearing disabilities: (310) 917-6626. The Ken Edwards Center is accessible to persons with disabilities, and is served by Big Blue Bus lines 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9 and 10.
