*Seeking Volunteers for the Financial Sustainability Plan Task Force
*The City of Kenmore is currently seeking volunteers to serve on a Financial Sustainability Plan (FSP) Task Force from November 2023 to April 2024. 

Due to state-imposed 1% limit on property tax growth, high inflation, relatively flat growth in other revenues, unfunded state and federal mandates, and other factors, the City’s operating revenues are not keeping pace with the cost of doing business. As a result, the City of Kenmore faces an upcoming structural deficit in its operating budget (General Fund and Street Fund) and will need to revise the Financial Sustainability Plan [ https://www.kenmorewa.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/1664/637550766311170000 ] that was adopted in 2020.

The seven-member FSP Task Force will review the City’s financial forecasts and budgets and evaluate priorities, services, and revenues to make recommendations to the City Manager on how to resolve the structural deficit. All Kenmore residents, business owners, or employees (over the age of 16) may apply. Learn more and apply by October 30 at www.kenmorewa.gov/fsp [ http://www.kenmorewa.gov/fsp ]

*October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month 
*This week, the City Council proclaimed October 2023 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month [ https://kenmore.civicweb.net/document/193224/ ] in the City of Kenmore. Each October, National Domestic Violence Awareness Month brings attention to domestic violence and ways people affected by domestic violence can increase and sustain safety for themselves, their children, and their communities. In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, purple lights will shine on the dogwood trees in front of City Hall. Each year, neighbors show their support by replacing their porch lights with purple lights. The City of Kenmore is giving away a limited supply of purple lights. Stop by City Hall during regular business hours to pick yours up today.
