Greetings, all!

We are a PA 164 city library. As a branch of city government, is public notification/comment a required piece of our budget approval process? We've done this in the past but the process is so much more under the control of the city, changes are sometimes made after our board has approved the library's budget.

Can anyone shed more light on the process, how it is handled by your library and municipality if you are a city library?

Any help will be greatly appreciated, as well as your time to offer it!

Thanks,

Sharon
