Springfield, MA – Mayor Domenic J. Sarno and Chief Administrative and Financial Officer (CAFO) Timothy
J. Plante have released the following schedule for the Mayor’s Fiscal Year 2019 (FY19) budget hearings.

Mayor Sarno and the Office of Management and Budget. Budget hearings begin on Monday, March 5th
and conclude Monday, March 19th.

Mayor Sarno said, “Governing during the worst economic times since the Great Depression, I am very
proud of our fiscal management. We have reaffirmed the highest bond ratings in our City’s history and
have healthy reserves. We will continue to lead in an efficient, effective, strategic and compassionate
way.”

T.J. Plante stated, “As we kick off our FY19 budget process, our goal is to maintain core services with an
eye on fiscal sustainability. I look forward to working with the Mayor and department heads to craft a
