McLean Community Center to Hold Meetings, Hearing on Budget

The Governing Board of the McLean Community Center (MCC) will hold two open finance meetings on its Proposed FY 2016 budget. The first meeting, the Finance Committee Meeting of the Whole, will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 15, 2014. The second meeting, the FY 2016 Budget Public Hearing, will immediately follow. Both meetings will be held at the Center, which is located at 1234 Ingleside Avenue.

FY 2016 begins July 1, 2015 and ends June 30, 2016. MCC is supported by a real estate tax surcharge paid by residents of Small District 1A-Dranesville. At the Finance Committee Meeting of the Whole, MCC Governing Board Treasurer Craig Richardson, members of the Finance Committee that he chairs and other board members will begin the process of evaluating the financial needs of the Center. The evaluation will include a review of FY 2012 through FY 2014 year-end actuals, the current year’s budget (FY 2015) and a review of the costs of new program proposals for FY 2016.

Copies of the proposed budget will be available at the Center’s reception desk, on the Center’s website, www.mcleancenter.org and at the meetings. Residents who call the Center to announce their intentions to attend the work session will receive a budget package when they arrive. District residents who have suggestions, comments or concerns will have an opportunity to voice them at the work session.

The FY 2016 Budget Public Hearing will be held immediately following the work session. District residents who wish to speak at the public hearing are asked to call 703-790-0123, TTY: 711, to have their names placed on the speakers’ list. Written comments may be sent to the Governing Board by mail (address to: McLean Community Center, 1234 Ingleside Avenue, McLean VA 22101), fax (703-556-0547) or email (feedback@mcleancenter.org).

Residents may continue to submit written comments after the public hearing, until the Board meets at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2014 to approve the FY 2016 budget.
