Key Issues
· The Mayor’s proposed budget reflects an increase of 2.62% in Operations, due primarily to an increase in the Business Meetings and Training line item to reflect estimated expenditures for travel.
· The Town Council’s proposed budget reflects an increase in Operations of 8.0% due primarily to an increase in the Meetings and Training line item to reflect estimated expenditures for travel to national conferences by Council members, and an increase in the Professional Services line item for food at special meetings.
· No other significant additions or reductions are proposed.
