City of Norfolk Community Outreach Program for FY 2013 Overview
The City of Norfolk values feedback from residents in developing a foundation for a well managed government. The current economic backdrop provides an opportunity for building community understanding of the fiscal challenges facing Norfolk so that, through resident input, spending priorities, service delivery strategies, and savings strategies may be determined. To achieve this understanding and promote meaningful dialogue, multiple forums are available. During the month of January, five Community Conversations will be held in locations throughout the city. In addition, an online public forum will be available through the city’s website as well as mail-in “Community Input” forms that are available at libraries, recreation centers, and City Hall.
The FY 2013 budget process continues to build on the principle of establishing a Well-Managed Government: establishing a data-driven organization which provides effective and efficient City programs and services that are responsive, accountable, inclusive and customer focused.
