Council recesses three budget items amid tight July 31 filing deadlines
Summary
Facing July 31 filing deadlines and open-meetings notice constraints, the council voted to recess items 12d, 12e and 12f for additional review and to reconvene the following day to comply with noticing rules.
Council members voted to recess items 12d, 12e and 12f after councillors said they needed more time to review documents that staff said are due to the state by July 31. The mayor explained that holding a telephonic special meeting could run afoul of the 72‑hour noticing rule, so members opted to recess to a brief noon meeting the next day (in the county lobby) to determine a place and time for a later evening session.
The decision followed a motion by Councillor Snyder and discussion with the town attorney and finance staff, who confirmed the filing deadlines for the final-quarter adjustments and related paperwork. The council took a roll-call vote and approved the recess, then directed staff to post two notices required by the Open Meetings Act: one on the door for the noon recess meeting and another with the later evening location if different.
