Public participation in the budget process is a high priority for the Mayor and Council and city staff. The community budget priorities survey is available in English, Spanish and simplified Chinese at www.rockvillemd.gov/budget. Survey responses provide valuable input to the Mayor and Council for their budget discussions.
