The McLean Community Center (MCC) Governing Board is asking residents of Dranesville Small District 1-A, who pay a real-estate-tax surcharge to support the center, to tell officials what kind of programs and services they would like to see offered and/or improved upon in the planning for fiscal year 2025.
The board will hold a public hearing on the matter on March 22 at 6:30 p.m. at the community center.
The public hearing is the first step in planning for the fiscal 2025 budget cycle, which begins July 1, 2024, and ends June 30, 2025. MCC’s program areas also include the Robert Ames Alden Theatre and The Old Firehouse Center.
Tax-district residents who wish to provide feedback about fiscal 2025 programs may:
• Attend the hearing and provide verbal comments. Call MCC at (703) 744-9348, to have your name placed on the speakers’ list. However, speakers are not required to sign up in advance in order to speak. If their comments exceed three minutes, they will be asked to provide their feedback in writing. Officials will verify speakers’ residency before recording their comments.
• Attend the meeting and submit comments in writing there, which will become part of the official record.
• Submit comments in writing without attending the meeting via mail, e-mail (feedback@mcleancenter.org) or delivered in person to MCC (both before the meeting and up to seven days afterward).
• Submit comments via an online survey that will be available for patrons who cannot attend the hearing.
