On Monday, June 12, the Redwood City Council will present the 2023-2024 budget with adoption scheduled for June 26, which focuses on financial sustainability while reimagining city services to meet needs.
The City Council noted that the Recommended Budget is based on significant achievements during the last fiscal year and key priorities as the city continues to transition into its financial and community recovery strategy following the COVID-19 pandemic.
As planned, they detailed, the projected deficit of $9.34 million for fiscal year 2023-24 will be offset by the use of one-time designated funds, thus avoiding the need for immediate cuts.
The City is employing a multi-pronged approach to explore new revenue streams. This could include user fees and tax increases, new taxes, revenue generation from digital signs, and convenience fees for credit card payments.

Rainbow flags stolen in San Jose More than 75 rainbow flags have been stolen in Willow Glen as National Pride Month kicks off. This has become a recurring problem.
Local real estate agent Holly Barr buys and places the flags on Willow Glen’s main street, Lincoln Avenue, annually starting in June. Every year she says they get stolen, but she doesn’t let that stop her efforts to celebrate and support the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer, or LGBTQ+, communities.
Councilman Dev Davis, who represents Willow Glen, said the flags could be stolen out of homophobia or because people want to keep a rainbow flag. However, she condemns the behavior.
