Cramerton board opens budget hearing, reschedules adoption and approves advertising for new positions
Summary
At its June 2 meeting the board opened the FY 2022–23 budget hearing, consented to advertise proposed positions in Police, Planning and Parks and rescheduled the June 23 meeting to June 16 so the budget can return for adoption.
The Town of Cramerton opened a public hearing on the proposed FY 2022–23 budget on June 2 and agreed to reschedule the next meeting so the board can adopt the budget at an earlier date.
Town Manager David Pugh told the board "a lot of hard work had been done regarding the budget and the Land Use Plan," and asked the board’s permission to advertise proposed positions in the Police Department, Planning and Zoning, and Parks and Recreation. The board consented to advertise the positions.
To allow time for final review, Commissioner Helms moved to reschedule the June 23 board meeting to June 16 so the budget can be placed on the June 16 agenda for adoption; Mayor Pro Tempore Neeley seconded the motion and it passed 5–0. No public comments were recorded during the hearing at the meeting.
Why it matters: Advertising the positions signals the town’s intent to fill staff vacancies tied to core services; the date change moves the formal adoption earlier than originally scheduled. The board did not adopt the budget at the June 2 meeting but set the next procedural step.
Next steps: The budget will return at the June 16 meeting for formal adoption. Advertisements for the proposed positions will proceed per town personnel procedures.
