The proposed 2004-05 city budget, totaling $377 million, is now available on-line and can also be reviewed at all city library branches and the City Clerk’s office at City Hall. The City Council will hold budget study sessions in the Council Chamber today and Thursday, beginning at 6 p.m. The sessions will air live on City TV (Channel 16), and via the Netcast at santa-monica.org. Budget adoption will occur during the regular City Council meeting on June 15, beginning at 5:45 p.m.

City officials want the public to submit comments online as an alternative to addressing the City Council in person. The public also can fax comments to (310) 917-6640; or mail them to Santa Monica City Council, P.O. Box 2200, Santa Monica, CA 90407-2200\. Public comments will be published online only with author consent.

Officials say the budget reflects community priorities, revenue enhancements and budget cuts necessitated primarily by uncertainties generated at the state level.
