The Albert Lea City Council is looking for public input as it begins working on the 2015 budget.

The city is inviting residents and business owners to come to the July 14 City Council meeting at 7 p.m. to provide their ideas and suggestions for how the council should move forward in the next year.

City Manager Chad Adams said the council is particularly looking for ways in which the city can collaborate with the community to support projects or groups that serve a public purpose.
