Town Board sets October budget workshops for Oct. 14, 15 and 21
Summary
Board members agreed to hold three publicly posted budget workshops in October to review portions of the 2026 budget; dates finalized as Oct. 14 (afternoon), Oct. 15 (10 a.m.–2 p.m.) and Oct. 21 (10 a.m.–2 p.m.).
Town Board members agreed to schedule three budget workshops in October to review the 2026 budget and related materials.
After discussing availability, the board settled on three workshop dates and times: Oct. 14 (proposed 2–5 p.m.), Oct. 15 (10 a.m.–2 p.m.) and Oct. 21 (10 a.m.–2 p.m.). A board member confirmed those dates on the record and said the sessions "will all be posted as workshops." The group discussed alternatives including Oct. 10 and earlier options but settled on the final three dates to provide time for staff to gather answers to outstanding questions.
Board members traded preferences for start times and noted conflicts: one member said they would be out of town Oct. 16–20 and another noted a medical scheduling conflict that could affect exact start/end times on Oct. 14. The board discussed whether to meet on or around the Columbus Day holiday and whether holiday timing would affect public participation.
One board member suggested splitting budget topics across meetings — "first meeting, I do all other funds except general; the second meeting, I do the general fund" — so that staff could cover fund-specific materials in advance. Another offered to meet one-on-one before the workshop to walk through the "first page" of materials so the broader workshop could proceed.
The board directed staff to post the three dates as public workshops. No formal vote count or roll call was recorded for the scheduling conversation; the transcript records a consensus and a confirming statement that the dates "will all be posted as workshops."
