FYI I went with something a little more mellow on social media this morning ??
We love budgeting so much that we broke it up into 8 crazy nights where we discuss City budget priorities with the
Council and community. We invite city residents to join us and see how their tax dollars are being used locally and
what is proposed for the year ahead. Hear about the challenges and opportunities facing the City, and how the City
of Twin Falls plans to fund them.
Follow a specific discussion on a community topic that interest you, or be the super citizen who attends the entire
budget discussion. We'll leave it up to you:
*Monday, July 1: Overview of the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 City Manager’s Recommended Budget
*Monday, July 15: Accessible and Environmental Community priorities
*Monday, July 23: Learning and Secure Community priorities
*Monday, July 30: Healthy and Prosperous Community priorities
*Monday, August 6: Responsible Community and Internal Organization priorities & Adoption of the Fiscal Year
2024-2025 Preliminary Budget
*Monday, August 19: Public Hearing and Adoption of the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Budget

I like it, but I am not sure that I should do it right away with the public hearing on the issue. Social media
is all riled up and I don’t know if I want to poke the bear. Maybe after the P&Z hearing and the appeal
process concludes?

I’m trying new ways to get the public to pay attention to the budget, but wanted to run this
social media post by you first:
“The City of Twin Falls is hosting a series of public hearings to gather input from city residents
on the upcoming 2025 city budget. These hearings are the most effective opportunity for city
residents to provide input on city priorities and how millions of dollars in funds should be
allocated, but we don’t normally have many citizens attend the public hearings. If only there was
some way to draw attention to the city budget…” \[LINK to City BUDGET PSA\]
