We Need Your Input: Strategic Planning Meeting on Wednesday, May 23rd

The City of Casper has been going through a strategic planning process that will be used to set long term goals for the City. Seventeen focus groups have been held, with members that were drawn from a cross section of the entire Casper community.

Each group was asked the same three questions:

What are Casper’s strengths?
What are its weaknesses?
What are your long term hopes and dreams for the city?

Now we need you to help us synthesize these seventeen distinct viewpoints into one coherent set of goals. A public meeting will be held at the Casper Events Center on Wednesday, May 23rd, at 6:00 PM. At that meeting, the results of the seventeen focus groups will be discussed and analyzed. The end result should be a set of goals that can be recommended by everyone to the Casper City Council.

Stategic Planning Meeting
When:	6:00 - 8:00 PM Wednesday, May 23rd
Where:	Casper Events Center, Summit Room
Refreshments will be provided

Join the Street Tree Program, and Buy a Tree at Half Price

If you're looking to add a tree to the front of your property, the City may be willing to help you by paying half of the purchase price. From now through June 1, 2012, the City of Casper will be taking applications from residents who want to join the Street Tree Program.

The program will pay for half the cost of a tree that is being planted in the public right of way in front of a single family house, which is generally the grassy area between the sidewalk and the street. In addition to the discount on the tree itself, the City will plant it and care for it for the first six months. Participants will also receive some tree care training from the professionals in the City's Parks Division.

Proposed Budget for FY 2013

The City's Proposed FY 2013 Budget is now available. This document is the City Manager's recommendation on how to fund the city's vital services for the upcoming fiscal year (July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013.)

This $141 million budget includes a $6 million reduction in spending from the budget that was adopted last year. Highlights of this budget include the addition of two firefighters and three police officers.

The City of Casper has a tradition of conservative budgeting. In keeping with that philosophy, revenues are expected to exceed expenses by $497,719 this year.
