Mercer Island to Hold Preliminary Budget Hearing Monday, Nov. 5

Tonight's meeting will begin at 6 p.m. with a study session on I-90 tolling, followed by its regular meeting at 7 p.m. when the public will have the opportunity to comment on Mercer Island's proposed 2013-14 budget.

Mercer Island City Council will hold its third public hearing on Monday, Nov. 5 to consider revenue sources for the 2013-2014 City of Mercer Island General Fund Budget, including any possible increases in property tax revenues.

The public hearing is an opportunity for any taxpayer to appear and be heard for or against any part of the budget, or provide comments. Council Meetings are held in the Council Chambers located at 9611 SE 36th Street, Mercer Island.

Two public hearings remain on the biennial budget: The next meetings on the budget will be held on Nov. 19 and Dec. 3 (Note: It is anticipated that the Council will formally adopt the 2013 Budget at the Council Meeting of December 3, 2012).

I'll be a bit more direct than Jerry. The new site is a mess. Visually it's extremely cluttered.Read More It's slow, very slow. There appear to be no RSS feeds, a major negative. Following a few links sometimes sends you to a different community's Patch site. And what happened with the editing staff. Unless I missed something, suddenly there are new editors without any warning. No matter what the circumstances, normally such a move would be accompanied by an announcement of some sort. Venice may be the greatest editor ever, but it looks like she is splitting her time among several Patch sites, so the odds are stacked against her. Her "latest activities" list even suggests that she is editing a Patch site down in the San Francisco Bay area. With all due respect, Patch sites should be hyper-local, and the best route to that is a local (i.e. Mercer Islander) editor.
