Council places June public hearing on proposed 26–27 budget; budget to be posted online
Summary
The council put a June public hearing on the consent agenda to receive citizen comments on the proposed 26 to 27 budget and said the full budget would be posted on the town website the following day; the transcript does not record a formal vote on the consent item.
The presiding official opened the meeting and said one item on the consent agenda would "set our public hearing for our June meeting to receive citizen comments on our proposed 26 to 27 budget," adding that the budget would be posted on the town website the next day and that citizens could speak at the public hearing.
The council member leading the discussion said the hearing would provide a formal opportunity for residents to comment on the proposal. The transcript records the item as being placed on the consent agenda but does not include a recorded motion, second or vote on the floor during the provided excerpt.
Why it matters: The public hearing is the formal venue for residents to register support, concerns or proposed changes to the town's near-term budget priorities. The presiding official encouraged residents with questions to review the posted materials and to speak at the hearing.
The meeting proceeded to other business, including discussion about park safety and the public-comment sign-up process.
