Clearwater - The first of three evening "recap meetings," is scheduled for Thursday, April 19, at 6:30 p.m. This is a great chance for citizens to offer their input before the proposed budget is adopted and the tentative millage rate set - and before the TRIM notices come out. Citizens have been encouraged to use the county's budget website, www.pinellascounty.org\budget, to find quick information on budget issues, timetables, and simple answers to budget questions.
