Hague opens public hearing on 2025 preliminary budget; board sets rules for comment
Summary
The Town of Hague opened a public hearing on its proposed 2025 preliminary budget, with the chair asking residents to state their names and noting the hearing is for public comment rather than a live Q&A; the board said it will answer questions after the hearing closes and make revisions before final adoption.
The Town of Hague board opened a public hearing on its proposed 2025 preliminary budget and explained how the hearing will proceed.
Chair (speaker 2) called the session the "2025 preliminary budget public hearing" and asked residents to state their names when recognized, emphasizing that the hearing is for public comment and not an immediate question-and-answer period. The chair said the board will collect remarks, close the hearing, and then respond or reopen the hearing for further discussion.
Residents raised questions about salary line items and requested more detailed documents. The chair said he would consult the town attorney about whether individual-dollar disclosure is appropriate and offered to provide positional averages and a copy of the budget sheet when available. The board moved and voted to open the hearing and later took a temporary vote to close it to allow the board to address certain procedural matters.
