The city commences its budget process in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. While these meetings are presently scheduled to be conducted in person, with limited public seating, the schedule and means of meeting are subject to change based on the city’s response to the public health emergency. Changes will be publicized in the city’s newsroom and on its social media channels.
Given the limited public seating in City Hall, and the city’s promotion of social distancing, the public is strongly encouraged to participate in the budget process—including these meetings—in the following ways, rather than in person:
- Contact the entire City Council with a single email sent to [email protected]
- Leave comments with the Clerk of Council at 540.332.3810
- Listen to the meetings online at www.ci.staunton.va.us/
government/city-council
Further means for public input during Council’s public hearings on Thursday, April 9, will be available and publicized prior to that date.
Following Thursday’s presentation, the FY2021 Proposed Budget will be available to view online at www.ci.staunton.va.us/budget.
