Waterbury neighbors, Des Moines city leaders need your help!

Des Moines is facing a $12 million budget shortfall. To help our city leaders make the necessary budget cut decisions, they've created an online tool to allow citizens to "balance the budget," choosing which cuts you want and which you don't.

Let your voice be heard, take a few minutes to help our city leaders understand what cuts we can live with and which ones we can't.

The City of Des Moines is facing a budget shortfall following several changes to Iowa state property tax legislation. Utilize this tool to identify your priorities as we work through service levels.
