[0:00] Residents [0:06] are invited to learn more about the [0:07] city's proposed 2026 budget at an [0:10] upcoming open house on Tuesday, November [0:12] 18th. The event will take place from 4 [0:15] to 6:00 p.m. at the Apple Valley [0:17] Municipal Center with community members [0:19] welcome to drop in at any time. The open [0:21] house offers residents an opportunity to [0:24] speak one-on-one with city staff, ask [0:26] questions, and explore how tax dollars [0:28] are being allocated for the upcoming [0:30] year.

We [0:37] encourage residents to attend to learn [0:39] more about the budgeting process and ask [0:41] any questions you may have. [0:44] Thanks to the 2023 parks referendum, [0:46] exciting new features and upgrades are [0:48] on their way to our city parks. All [0:50] guided by your input. From day one, [0:53] community feedback has been key in [0:55] shaping the park's amenity plan. Over [0:57] the past year, we've invited residents [0:59] to share thoughts through individual [1:00] park surveys. Your feedback will help [1:03] determine future park equipment and [1:05] amenities across Apple Valley. Surveys [1:07] are available for parks that are set to [1:09] undergo construction in 2026. If you [1:12] haven't provided input yet, there's [1:14] still time to participate, but don't [1:15] wait. These surveys will close on [1:17] November 7th. Visit Apple [1:19] Valleym.gov/parks [1:21] projects to take the survey.
