City of Bel Aire

Bel Aire, Growing with You

We want to hear from you!

What would you like Bel Aire's budget priorities to be for 2014? The City Council would like to hear from citizens about what is important to you for the 2014 budget process.

Improving City streets has been identified as one priority. We have compiled a list of street repair projects and would like citizens to determine which locations are priorities.  Because street repair projects are very expensive, it will not be possible to fund all repairs immediately, but with citizen input we hope to allocate funding to areas of utmost importance.

Please click on this link http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PYWCKT2 to respond to a short survey about City street projects and provide guidance for the 2014 budget process.

We thank you so much for your willingness to participate in making our City the best it can be and we look forward to another engaging and productive budget process.
