I-Value Citizen Outreach

The "I Value Citizen Outreach" initiative is a program rooted in Hampton's values since 2010, designed to align the city's budget with community priorities. It involves residents providing input both before and after the budget is released, emphasizing proactive budgeting and long-term outcomes. The process includes identifying resident priorities for operating expenses (e.g., police, fire, libraries, parks) and capital projects (e.g., strategic plan implementation, park upgrades, flooding projects). Potential tax and fee changes for wastewater, solid waste, stormwater, permitting, school programs, and real estate will be considered.

Residents have multiple opportunities to provide input on budget priorities, including specific operating expenses, capital projects, and potential tax/fee changes, directly influencing city services and financial decisions.
