A Conversation with City Staff re:
City Finances for 2011 & Beyond
Shoreline citizens are fortunate to live in a City recognized for sound, conservative fiscal practices.  Come and see how your tax dollars are being managed in light of these difficult economic times, and how City staff and Council are looking ahead to seek ways to bridge the gaps anticipated from loss of revenue income. If you haven't yet had an opportunity to hear this presentation, we promise you will gain much insight into the workings of City government.
