Coral Springs' first business planning workshop will be at 4 p.m. July 21, prior to the regularly scheduled City Commission meeting. There will be a special City Commission meeting on July 28 at 5 p.m., which will include a presentation of the Business Plan.

On June 16, the city presented a financial plan for Fiscal Year 2010 as part of a public Financial Strategy Forum. This is the first time the city held such an event as part of its fiscal year financial planning cycle. The workshop dates were adjusted to accommodate this extra session and resulting public feedback.

Following the business planning workshops, the city will hold two public budget hearings in September. Check www.coralsprings.org for details on both the business planning workshops and public hearings.
