County Budget Decisions

Maui County News Release

It’s that time of year when the County of Maui makes big budget decisions. Come out and add your input to what’s important to fund this year. Mayor Alan Arakawa is encouraging all community members to participate in the Community Budget Meetings for Fiscal Year 2015, which will be held around the county next month.

The budget meeting on Molokai will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 10 at 5:45 p.m. for the CDBG hearing and 6 p.m. for the budget meeting at the Mitchell Pauole Center.

“Feedback from these meetings provides valuable direction to for us,” said Mayor Arakawa. “I would invite and encourage all residents of Maui County to take some time out of their busy schedules to share their thoughts on how we create a balanced budget that addresses county services while remaining fiscally responsible.”

Residents are also encouraged to fill out an online survey prior to attending the meetings, which will help notify meeting organizers about the priorities in each community. The link to the survey is available on the front page of the Maui County website on the lower left hand side at mauicounty.gov and is called the “2013 Community Survey.”
