Description

It's mid-year checkup time for the San Luis Obispo city budget. City manager Derek Johnson explains how our city funds are being spent, what kinds of changes we may see at the Feb. 15 city council meeting, and how you can weigh in. 

Action item: Read the staff recommendations in the city council agenda: slocity.org/agendas, then contact city council with your thoughts about expenditures that align with our major city goals. You can submit your comments by email, voicemail or during public comment at the virtual meeting. 

Bonus item: Play the CalMatters budget surplus game to see how your state budget priorities align with Gov. Newsom's. Who knew budgets could be fun?
