The Town Council is due to vote tonight on the town's $88.02 million operating budget, following its second public hearing at 6 p.m.
With water, sewer and solid waste spending included, the town's fiscal 2009 budget totals $99.5 million.
The council will also consider a request Councilor Robert Vallee last Wednesday said he would make to add two officers to Police Chief Stephen T. Williams' 46-member force.
Williams had asked for the additional officers in his initial budget request, but was denied.

Each new officer could cost the town $60,000 to $80,000, Williams estimated.
