Council sets budget hearing timeline, appoints Gordon McCormick to storm & sanitation board
Summary
Council discussed publishing the budget notice, tentatively scheduled a public hearing in late September, and appointed Gordon McCormick to fill a storm and sanitation seat through Dec. 31, 2026.
Council members discussed the 2026 budget schedule and agreed staff would publish required notices so a public hearing and first reading could be held before adoption. Staff recommended a public hearing beginning in late September and proposed the council adopt the budget at the Oct. 8 meeting; members suggested holding a budget hearing at 7 p.m. on Sept. 24 to allow public participation.
In other business, the council voted to appoint Gordon McCormick to the Storm and Sanitation committee to fill a term through Dec. 31, 2026. The appointment was moved, seconded and approved by roll call.
Why it matters: The budget schedule determines when the town will receive and consider public input on tax and spending proposals, and the Storm and Sanitation appointment fills a vacancy on a committee that advises on infrastructure and service delivery.
Next steps: Staff will publish the public notice for the budget hearing per statutory notice requirements, circulate budget materials to councilors in advance, and add the new committee appointment to the administration roster.
