North Canaan sets May 21 town meeting to consider 2025–26 budgets and two‑year resident trooper contract
Summary
The North Canaan Board of Selectmen set a public hearing for May 14 and a town meeting on May 21 to consider the 2025–26 town and school budgets and a proposed two‑year resident trooper contract; the motion was approved at the May 5 meeting.
The North Canaan Board of Selectmen voted May 5 to set a public hearing on the 2025–26 budget for May 14 at 7:00 p.m. and to hold a town meeting Wednesday, May 21 at 7:00 p.m. to consider the town budget, the school budget and a proposed two‑year Resident Trooper contract. The motion to set the town meeting was moved by Selectman Craig Whiting and seconded by Selectman Jesse Bunce; the motion carried.
First Selectman Brian Ohler read the notice into the record and said the public hearing will be followed by the regular finance meeting. No vote totals were recorded in the minutes; actions to approve budgets or contracts will occur at the town meeting on May 21.
Why it matters: the town meeting will provide voters an opportunity to approve the proposed budgets and the Resident Trooper contract. The board positioned May 14 for public comment and May 21 for formal action, which sets the near‑term schedule for tax and service planning for fiscal 2025–26.
What’s next: the public hearing on May 14 (7:00 p.m.) precedes the town meeting on May 21 (7:00 p.m.), when the board expects to present the budgets and the two‑year contract to the voters for consideration.
