Vietnamese Election Information Now Required in Dallas County
CITY SEEKS BUDGET INPUT Planning for the city’s Fiscal Year 2022-2023 (FY23) budget has begun! The City of Irving Budget Team is looking for resident suggestions, feedback and opinions on what should be considered for the FY23 budget, which begins October 1, 2022.
As a result of updated U.S. Census Bureau information, Dallas County and the City of Irving are now required to provide bilingual election information in Vietnamese, in addition to English and Spanish. The Voting Rights Act establishes requirements for local officials to provide election information in multiple languages based on the population. Based on the Census Bureau’s determination of "minority language groups" measured every five years, when 5% of eligible voters in an area have limited English proficiency and speak the same language, the bilingual accommodations are required by federal law. n
To learn more about the city’s budget, visit CityofIrving.org/Budget and check out the ‘FY22 Budget Executive Summary’ tab for an overview of the current fiscal year budget.
See May 7 General Election details on page 3.
Email the Budget Team your input and let the City of Irving know what you think! n

LITTERERS ARE NOT INVITED As spring arrives in Irving, so have special events and outdoor activities. The City of Irving welcomes Irving residents, visitors, even fourlegged friends (as long as they are leashed) to attend and take advantage of the city’s parks and outdoor spaces. But there is one group that is not on the guest list: litterers!

Litter not only looks awful and ruins the beauty of the city, but it can also cause expensive damage to the city’s infrastructure, which affects essential services. Additionally, when litter and solid waste get into storm drains, it poses serious dangers to the environment and public health. The City of Irving makes sure to provide plenty of trash receptacles throughout the city’s parks and public spaces. Residents should never throw trash on the ground and double-check that they have collected all items before leaving an area. Keeping Irving Beautiful is everyone’s responsibility. When plans are being made to attend an event or visit a city park or trail, remember that litterers are not invited! For more tips and information on keeping the community clean and litter-free, visit CityofIrving.org/ThinkGreen. n
