Mayor reviews budget implications for pool, policing and court; corrects airport deficit figure
Summary
Mayor Smith said the town is analyzing how pool operations and policing changes will affect the 2025 budget, has opened talks about disbanding Twisp Municipal Court, and corrected a previously reported airport deficit figure from $10,000 to about $8,000.
Mayor Smith told the council he and the clerk are digging into budget numbers to understand how running the town pool and proposed changes to policing will affect the 2025 budget. He said staff hope to provide more detailed information to council in coming weeks as research continues.
The mayor said he has been in contact with the Association of Courts to explore putting disbanding the Twisp Municipal Court on a docket and has a meeting set for next week to discuss next steps. On airport matters, Smith said he has been working with the town attorney on an "over the fence license" based on council feedback and hopes to bring the topic back for further discussion. He also corrected a figure he provided at a prior meeting, saying that when describing the airport’s typical deficit "it is currently closer to $8,000," not the $10,000 previously reported. The council did not take immediate formal action on the court or airport items during the meeting.
