Wynnedale budget meeting highlights include $44,000 tree-cutting estimate and proposals for consultants, legal retainer and landscaping
Summary
At its Sept. 24 budget meeting, the council reviewed multiple proposed budget items including a $44,000 guesstimate to cut trees on the south esplanade, hiring an engineering consultant for road projects, maintaining three security line items across budgets, a legal retainer, professional landscaping and lamp cleaning funds. The budget meeting was left unfinished.
The Wynnedale Town Council began its annual budget discussion on Sept. 24 and reviewed several proposed line items and priorities that council members said should be included in upcoming budgets.
One specific cost estimate discussed was a guesstimate of $44,000 to perform tree cutting on the south esplanade. Council members also discussed hiring an engineering consultant to assist with bidding on future road projects and keeping three separate security line items in each of the three budget categories. Other items under consideration included putting a legal advisor on retainer, funding professional landscaping—particularly for esplanade beds—and appropriating money for town lamp cleaning.
Council members did not finalize the budget during the meeting; the minutes record that the budget meeting began at 8:14 p.m. and was left unfinished when the meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m. The minutes do not include line-item dollar amounts beyond the $44,000 tree-cutting guesstimate or final votes on any of the proposed items.
