The City of Chula Vista is slated to host two budget workshops in April as a way to present elements of the draft Fiscal Year 2024 budget.
The 2024 Budget Workshops will be held on Wednesday, April 19 at 5:30 p.m. at the Civic Center Library Auditorium, located at 365 F Street, and Wednesday, April 26 at 5:30 p.m. near the food pavilion at the Otay Ranch Town Center HUB Community Room, 2015 Birch Road Suite 409. The workshops are free and open to the public.
The Fiscal 2023-24 budget aims to fund important city services, including public safety, public works, library, recreation, parks, economic development, street improvements, conservation, maintenance, and more. Additionally, the budget includes the proposed measures A and P allocations.
Measure A was approved by voters in 2018 and implemented a half-cent sales tax to support public safety staffing. Measure P is the city’s temporary half-cent sales tax for infrastructure that was approved by voters in 2016.
The workshops held by the city will also present information about Measure A and P budgets and funding services and capital projects.
City staff is expected to present an overview of funding resources and describe the process for developing a balanced budget that will be presented to the City Council on May 9. Residents can view budget information at https://www.chulavistaca.gov/departments/finance/budget-information a few days before the May 9 meeting.
