Tonight’s Ballard District Council meeting will discuss several topics of interest (agenda here). The first will be a presentation by the city’s budget director Dwight Dively on Mayor Nickel’s proposed 2010 budget, which considers a $72 million deficit. He will “also provide his forecast of how our recovering economy is likely to influence city tax revenue,” the council agenda states.
Andrea Petzel with the Department of Planning and Development will talk about the proposal to rezone parts of Ballard. If you miss tonight’s meeting, there is an open house tomorrow from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the cafeteria auditorium of Swedish Ballard (5300 Tallman Ave).
Therese Casper with the Seattle Department of Transportation will present, “Bridging the Gap; Another Opportunity to Finance Costly Public Improvement Priorities in our Community.”
Elections for the 2010 District Council officer positions are tonight. The nominating committee has selected its recommendations, although they will accept nominations from the floor. Eligible candidates must be a designated representative from member organizations.
The meeting starts at 7 p.m. at the Ballard Library.
