The Town is beginning its 2024-2028 Financial Plan preparation. Members of the public are encouraged to attend the Public Engagement Sessions, which will be an informal gathering at 5:00 p.m., followed by a Finance Committee Meeting at 6:00 p.m. Snacks will be provided.
Sit down with our Managers and Council and share your suggestion for one thing, big or small, the Town could improve on.
- What do you think we could do better? – by doing what differently? - Would the same effort (time & money) deliver a better result?
- What do you think we’re not doing? – would it make a difference? – would the effort (time & money) deliver a valued benefit?
