Oct. 13, 2008 King County Council budget leaders to meet with city officials on local impacts of 2009 budgetMeetings are opportunity to confer on challenges facing cities, County With what is now projected to be a $93 million shortfall in the general fund for 2009, the budget leadership team of the Metropolitan King County Council has scheduled special meetings with local city officials to start a new conversation on how to minimize the impacts on local jurisdictions. The special meetings will be held just before each of the Council’s five evening public hearings on the 2009 King County Budget.
The goal of the special meetings is to have frank, open discussions with elected officials representing communities near the five cities – Issaquah, Kent, Kirkland, Shoreline and Seattle — where the Council will be holding public hearings on the budget. The focus will be on minimizing the impact of the County’s budget shortfall on local jurisdictions.
The meetings will be held in the same locations where the five evening public hearings are now scheduled:
• Tuesday, October 14 – Pacific Cascade Freshman Campus Staff Lounge, 24635 Southeast Issaquah Fall City Road, Issaquah
• Thursday, October 16 – Maleng Regional Justice Center Jury Room, 2E (2nd Floor), 401 4th Avenue North, Kent
• Tuesday, October 21 – Finn Hill Junior High School Library, 8040 Northeast 132nd Street, Kirkland
• Thursday, October 23 - Shoreline Conference Center, Arden Room, 18560 1st Avenue Northeast, Shoreline
• Tuesday, October 28 – Southwest Conference Room, 12th Floor King County Courthouse, 516 Third Avenue, Seattle
All the suburban city meetings begin at 5:30 p.m. Coverage will be available on a tape-delayed basis both online and on King County Television, seen on Comcast and Broadstripe Cable Channel 22.
