Budget Delegate Resource Library

Thank you for volunteering to be a Budget Delegate! In a series of meetings from December to February, you will work in four committees to take the ideas suggested by community members at the neighborhood assemblies and elsewhere and turn them into concrete project proposals to put on the final ballot.

On this page, you will find materials and resources to help you develop project proposals for your community.
