Board approves draft budget and clears it for public hearing
Summary
Board members approved a draft budget (not final adoption) and directed staff that no additional consultation was required before the public budget hearing; prior‑year actuals and historical society allocations were discussed.
The board reviewed the draft budget and discussed prior‑year actuals and specific allocations, including a payment to the historical society. Clerk/moderator (S3) emphasized the distinction between approving a draft and adopting a final budget, saying the vote would clear the draft for the upcoming budget hearing.
"This isn't approving the budget. It's approving the draft that Scott has sent and telling him that we don't need any more consultation to the budget hearing," S3 said. A motion to approve the draft (moved by S2 and seconded) carried by voice vote. The board did not adopt the budget for final implementation at this meeting; the action advances the draft to the formal hearing process.
