The Demorest City Council will meet Wednesday, June 26, for a special called meeting to amend the 2023 budget. A public hearing will be held for citizens to comment on the proposed 2023 budget amendments. This will be the second public hearing the city has held to receive comments from the public on the budget amendments.

The amendments to the budget are part of the audit process to ensure all financial matters are completed and booked correctly. After the amendments are discussed, the Mayor and City Council will hold a separate meeting immediately following the public hearing to approve the amendments.

Once the amendments have been approved, the 2023 audit will be completed. The next step will be to submit the audit to the state for their review.

A copy of the proposed 2023 amended budget is available for review at Demorest City Hall.

The budget amendment public hearing will be held on Wednesday, June 26, at 6 p.m. It will be held in the Demorest Municipal Conference Room at 250 Alabama Street in Demorest.
