Columbia residents will have their first official chance to offer feedback on the proposed $485 million city budget for fiscal 2020 on Monday night.

The hearing will be held during the regular meeting of the Columbia City Council, which begins at 7 p.m. in the council chambers at the Daniel Boone Building, 701 E. Broadway.

The agenda for the meeting features several budget-related bills.

Residents are free to address any aspect of the budget, and the council is scheduled to hear input from the chairs of the Commission on Cultural Affairs, the Housing and Community Development Commission, the Human Services Commission and other advisory boards.

Interim City Manager John Glascock, whose employment agreement for the permanent city manager appointment appears on Monday night’s consent agenda, presented his budget proposal in late July. His primary focus is to boost city salaries to competitive rates.
