On June 16, 2009, the Council approved a two-year budget for 2009-11.  In San Luis Obispo, this is much more than an "numbers" document: the budget determines the City's priorities and sets our course for the next two years.  For this reason, the central question facing us in both good times and bad is: What are the most important things for the City to accomplish over the next two years?  And with the very tough fiscal outlook facing the City, which would be much worse without Measure Y revenues, it's an especially important question this budget season.

The following are links to updates and reports on the City's 2009-11 goal-setting and budget process:
