Last week, we held a very thorough quarterly session in which we received survey results from both our residents and Town employees. We also took an in-depth look at the interim Town Manager's proposed FY 2027 budget, with a significant focus on our community's Police and Fire needs.

We had additional topics to cover and ran out of time during that session, so Council has scheduled an additional work session for May 26. As a reminder, it is open to the public, or you can watch live or later on our social media channels.
