The draft Regina Public Library Budget has been put on the City of Regina website. It will be going to Executive Committee on Wednesday, January 15th at 11:45 am.
If you want to make a verbal presentation to Executive Committee, you just have to show up and fill in a form. You will have 10 minutes.
The recommendation is to have it forwarded to the February 24th, 5:30 pm City Council meeting. If you wish to make a presentation to City Council, you have to provide a written brief of your remarks to the City Clerk’s Office by Thursday, February 20th at 1 pm. You can email your request and brief to clerks@regina.ca
To see the draft budget go to www.regina.ca/residents/council-committees/meeting-calendar-agenda and then click on the Executive Committee on January 15th and then click on the agenda item EX14-1 on the right hand side and you will either directly see the budget or it will be downloaded to your computer.
Any thoughts on the budget can be sent to FRPL or to your City Councilor if you have concerns or questions. There is likely going to be a FRPL letter sent to City Council in February.
