Menlo Park residents are invited to participate in workshops this week and next to help the city decide how to tackle a $2.9 million expected shortfall in the budget year starting July 1.
Participants will break up into small groups — called “mini-city councils” — and recommend which services to cut and revenues to raise.
The advice will be passed to the City Council, which makes the actual decisions.
Workshop times and places are:
** Thursday, February 9, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Belle Haven School cafeteria, 414 Ivy Drive.
** Saturday, February 11, from 9 a.m. to noon at Burgess Recreation Center, 701 Laurel St.
** Wednesday, February 15, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at La Entrada School, Jensen Hall, 2200 Sharon Road.
Child care and translators will be available.

The Menlo Park City Council will not hold its regular meeting on February 21, the day after President’s Day. Meetings will resume February 28.
