At
last night’s Town Council Workshop there was little discussion
about the budget. There was a lecture by Chairwoman Ward about how
much work the Finance Committee and others had put into the proposed
budget. The Town Manager cut $6,035.00 out of the Professional
Development budget of the General Government. Other than that, the
Municipal Budget was penny for penny the same as the previously
failed budget.
Councilor Bickford said that
he felt it was an injustice to have any bonds on the June ballot and
wanted an Ordinance prepared to limit bond issues to the November
ballot. The Workshop was adjourned without the people having an
opportunity to speak which is normally done at the end of the
Workshop.
Next,
the Special Town Council meeting began with Council Orders,
Resolutions & Ordinances. The Municipal Budget passed by a vote
of 5-1 with Councilor Pesce voting NO. The Economic Development
Budget passed by a vote of 6-0. The Catering permit for Hi Style
Catering was passed by a vote of 6-0. And finally, the Community
Planning Agreement for Professional Services was passed by a vote of
6-0.
There
was no one to speak during Other Business or Audience Participation &
Response.
The
meeting was adjourned.
