On January 18, 2024, the City held an in-person community workshop for the Resiliency Plan. The workshop was held at the City of Benicia Public Library. Attendees could participate in an informational presentation and Q&A with the City Manager, provide feedback through a prioritization exercise, take the online survey in person, and ask staff any clarifying questions. In addition, attendees had the opportunity to meet with City employees and City Council members to ask questions and learn more about the City's operations and budget.


Press Release: City of Benicia Hosts Community Meetings on Program and Service Cuts for Resiliency Plan

January 22, 2024 - The City of Benicia is seeking feedback from residents in January through an online community survey, a virtual workshop and in-person town halls to receive input on the community’s priorities of programs and services that the city offers.

UPCOMING MEETINGS

Community Survey

January 15-26 • Visit www.BelieveInBenicia.org

City of Benicia Community Center

Virtual Workshops via Zoom

The virtual workshop will have an informational presentation and an opportunity to provide feedback through a virtual poll.

People are welcome to come and go at any time during the in-person workshops.

The City of Benicia is facing a structural financial imbalance, with approximately $6.5 million (10% of the City’s general fund budget) needed in ongoing program and service cuts to reach fiscal sustainability.

The Resiliency Plan will include the scope of programs offered under two funding scenarios, one if the general sales tax measure, Measure B, on the March 5, 2024, ballot is passed by voters, and another if the sales tax measure is not passed by voters, which would require the city to cut $6.5 million to the general fund budget.
