Board members and staff discussed the annual budget calendar and negotiated a set of tentative work-session dates to balance member availability and staff needs. The proposed and agreed tentative dates were Sept. 15, 21, 22, 23 and 28, with Sept. 29 held as a contingency; members agreed that 5:15 PM is the preferred start time for work sessions.
Members noted that not all five planned sessions are always used and emphasized the need to advertise the schedule once finalized. The Chair said staff will try to keep agendas light on days immediately before the full town-board meetings to give members time to review materials.
