What is the BPAC?
Covington's City Council established the BPAC (Budget Priorities Advisory Committee) in response to the recession and economic uncertainty. In recent years, the city has cut its workforce by 20 percent and its budget by almost $1.5 million.
The BPAC is comprised of residents, businesses and students and will lead a public engagement process to uncover what citizens' priorities are for city government. The comittee may use a variety of tools including surveys, meetings, social media and focus groups to reach out and develop a report to city council by the end of the year.
