SEATTLE - Councilmember Nick Licata and the City Neighborhood Council will host a forum regarding Participatory Budgeting on Tuesday, January 27 and explore how such a program would function in Seattle.

The event is hosted by Councilmember Nick Licata, chair of the Finance and Culture Committee, and the Council’s Budget Committee. A representative from the Participatory Budgeting Project will review how Participatory Budgeting has performed in other U.S. cities, Europe and South America.
Food and beverages will be provided. More information about the event is available online.
