next fiscal year’s budget. Starting in October, they send out notifications to the public through
utility bills, website, social media campaigns. Comments are collected and categorized, then
presented to Mayor and Council. Priorities identified in the budget process are learned through
the survey sent out. Residents have many opportunities to have their voice heard at many points
through the budget process.

input from residents.

Dear Mayor, Council Members and City Manager:
Since I am not able to physically attend and be present at the Chandler City Council Meeting
scheduled on June 9, 2022 for the approval of the 2023 Fiscal Budget, I request that this
memorandum be entered into the City of Chandler record:
(a) I am opposed to the proposed Backyard Chicken ordinance and the proposed funding
for shelters for the homeless population in the City of Chandler by the City Housing and Human
Services Commission that should not be approved by the City Council and Mayor since these
proposals could negatively impact the daily lives of Chandler residents and legal registered
voters without a Referendum Vote -The right reserved to the people to approve or reject such
proposals.
(b) The 2023 Fiscal Budget as presented to the public does not provide specific details as to
the budgeted costs associated with the above proposals in (a), where the funds will come from to
pay for such costs, and if any funds come from Federal, State or County agencies for the
homeless population in the City of Chandler, absolute confirmation will be documented that this
homeless population will not include illegal aliens, terrorists or felons that must be verified and
documented by adequate records.
(c) Further, while this 2023 Fiscal Budget of EEC Expenditure Limitation at $1,352,658,536
appears to be about 28% higher than 2022's comparative amount of $1,058,074,338, there is little
detail available to the public to support this increase such as salaries and benefits paid to the city
employees, staff, Mayor and Council Members.
I request a detailed written response from the City Manager, Mayor and /or Council Members to
the above points of record.
Thank you. Leslie Minkus
