The figures were presented as part of the clerk’s announcement of the preliminary budget and not adopted at the hearing. No public commenters were recorded during the hearing; after soliciting input, the board moved to close the public hearing and adopted the closure by voice vote.
The clerk indicated next steps for the budget process are the usual post-hearing procedures; the transcript does not record a formal adoption vote on the budget itself at this meeting.
