Council urges voters to decide budget referendum; public comment presses for faster appointments
Summary
The town's interim finance director reminded residents to vote in a budget referendum this Saturday. During public comment, residents praised staff for SOP work and urged the council to act promptly to appoint more than 100 volunteers waiting to serve on boards and commissions.
Interim administrative and finance staff briefed the council as the town closed fiscal year 2026 and prepared for the 2027 budget referendum, urging all registered voters to participate in the upcoming Saturday vote on the proposed 2027 budget.
During public comment, in-person participants thanked staff (naming India Rogers) for preparing the SOPs and urged the council to move quickly on appointments. A resident who identified himself as Aaron Behringer (28 Kenmore Road) said the town has "over 100 engaged individuals" waiting to serve and urged the council to follow through with the planned committee meeting and appointments.
The mayor and council noted the public comments and provided procedural guidance for submitting questions to the council clerk; no votes resulted from public comment. The meeting adjourned by voice vote.
