Financial workshop held tonight with more dates

The city is facing a $2 million to $4 million deficit if expenditures and revenues remain unchanged so officials are holding workshops in various locations through July. 

A workshop will be held from 7 to 9 tonight at Padua Hills Theater, 4467 Padua Ave. 

Residents can learn what developments are planned with an interactive workshop format and give feedback in electronic surveys and a question and answer form on what commercial development they want. 

The $2 to $4 million dollar figure is from the Mayor's Ad Hoc Committee on Economic Sustainability report, which was released in February and projects a $2.3 million deficit by fiscal year 2015-16 which would be increased to $4 million if the economic recovery is pedestrian. 

Workshop dates are all from 7 to 9 p.m. 

- June 13, Blaisdell Community Center, 660 Mountain Ave. 

- July 11, City Hall, 207 Harvard Ave. 

Special business focused brown bag lunch at noon 

- June 23, City Hall, 207 Harvard Ave.
