Committee and staff set budget calendar: Oct. 2 departments due; Oct. 23 Board of Selectmen day; materials to committee in early November
Summary
Staff outlined a timeline for departmental submissions (Oct. 2), the Board of Selectmen presentation day (Oct. 23) and the budget committee's expected receipt of materials in the first week of November to allow review before deliberations.
Staff member (S4) walked the committee through the draft calendar and key statutory dates. "...that 2nd or 3rd week in August would line up the same deadline that I've given the department heads, which is Friday, October 2," the staff member said, and added that the Board of Selectmen's presentation day is Friday, October 23.
Members discussed how those dates compress the committee's review window and how waiting for NHMA or auditor calendars could push back finalization until November. The committee agreed to coordinate schedules so department heads and outside organizations understand when they must submit materials and when the committee will receive budget binders for review.
