If you would like to see the “Creative Industries Director" position created and finally have sustainable, on-going support for our growing arts community, then please share your voice. You’d be surprised how effective each voice can be to our politicians and City Leaders!! Here’s a short list of ways to express yourself during the budget process and be heard by City Leaders.
1. Visit http://www.fcgov.com/citymanager/budget.php now. Here you can create your own budget and leave comments. City staff will compile reports from input received on the website in mid-July and again on August 19th, so comments are valuable now and again in August.
2. Contact City Leaders directly.
City Manager, Deputy and Assistant City Managers and other City staff are reviewing and determining a recommended budget over the next month to present to City Council.
