Engage Gwinnett plans final meeting on county budget proposals

The county's citizen budget panel will hold its final community meeting Saturday at Gwinnett Center in Duluth.

The 42-member Engage Gwinnett committee has been meeting since September to study county government operations and draw up recommendations for cutting costs and supplementing revenue. The drop-in style meeting runs from 9 a.m. until noon.

Commissioners will get the committee’s final recommendations on April 27.

Meeting materials and video summaries of past meetings, including a series of four public meetings held last February, are available online at www.engagegwinnett.com. Four work groups have developed both status quo and declining revenue scenario recommendations for community services, law enforcement and judiciary, fire and emergency, internal services, and development and infrastructure.
