SEIU Tempe Chapter members have provided city management with dozens of cost-cuting and revenue-enhancement ideas over the past year and we continue to meet monthly with City Manager Charlie Meyer to discuss budget and personnel issues.

The city has also decided to seek comments from Tempe residents and employees in a series of budget forums to be held in February.

Employee forums are scheduled as follows:

Feb. 10, 9-11 am in the Vihel Center multipurpose room
Feb. 11, 2-4 pm in Council Chambers
Feb. 16, 7-9 am at Field Services Assembly Hall, Priest Yard 
Feb. 22, 3-5 pm at the Escalante Center, in the Senior Center

The city is also accepting comments online.
