With the City of Elk Grove entering its budgetary process for fiscal year 2014, now is the time to take a look at some of the expenses associated with running our city.

Well at least the City of Elk Grove, meaning the city council, isn't spending over $900 a month on flower arrangments for the various VIP offices that the city manager's office authorized every month.
Guess who put a stop to that little perk? Yep, those pesky citizens!
Good info, I'd like to see this run on a regular basis. Never know what little gems we will find tucked away in the crevices that rarely get much publicity. Thanks
Actually, it is run on a regular basis. Usually the first item on the consent calendar of each council meeting agenda. You can see the expenditures and it can be very interesting!
