Every year the City Council holds meetings in Merced neighborhoods to gather input and comments about how the City is operating, improvements that can be made and programming ideas residents suggest. The results of these meetings are used by the City Council to develop priorities that guide the development of the annual budget.
Council traditionally holds meetings in South, Central and North Merced. The sites are the Tenaya Middle School Multi-Purpose Room, the Merced Multi-Cultural Arts Center and the Rivera Middle School Gym.
Attached are calendars of available dates for each of these three locations. It is requested that Council select one date for each site to allow for adequate notice to be provided to the facilities and the public. Town Hall Meetings will be televised online. Spanish and Hmong interpreters will be available.
IMPACT ON CITY RESOURCES
No appropriation of funds is needed.
