Attention Cerritos!
Mark your calendars for the City Council's next two budget study sessions on May 11 and June 8, with a public hearing and final budget adoption scheduled for June 22.
Yes, you will get 3 minutes to provide 'valuable feedback' after reviewing the 350 page budget, which will be published next week.
Unless it is supporting the council agenda, sales tax increase and their wasteful spending, you will be ignored.
You can also submit your feedback using this online form: https://forms.cerritos.gov/City-of-Cerritos/Communications/Cerritos-Budget-QA
Feel free to share with your neighbors and friends in Cerritos.
Thank You,
