LIHU‘E — County officials are inviting members of the public to weigh in on the county’s budget priorities for the next fiscal year.
“We are already actively planning for our fiscal year 2014 (FY14) budget submittal, and the public’s input will help us greatly to determine the priority needs that need to be addressed,” says Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr. in a press release.
The public is invited to participate in an online survey. The survey consists of six questions and can be completed in 15 minutes or less, according to a news release.
The mayor’s FY14 submittal is due to the council on March 15, 2013, however department heads began developing their budget proposals in early August, and have also been in contact with council members to help determine the areas of critical need.
“We want to seek input much earlier in the process, from the council and the public at large, so that we can look at all options and develop a proposal that makes sense for our island,” says Carvalho.
The survey can be accessed online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/kauaibudget, or in the “What’s New” section of the County of Kaua‘i’s homepage.
The survey will be open for public input through Dec. 15, 2012.
