Full house at Senior Center got a good breakfast & bunch of questions answered at 4th Listening Session (video)

The 4th of 6 Joint Budget Listening Sessions was held at the Senior Center on Tuesday beginning at 9:30 AM. The Common Grounds cafeteria was packed and a great free breakfast (along with the important topic) were likely contributors to the attendence.

There was a slight update to the agenda docs previously released. It is also a preview of the preliminary budget being presented to the Town Council on Wednesday, March 5.

The audio (podcast) version and transcript are being processed and will be shared once ready.

The next Listening Session is Saturday, March 8 at the Council Chambers. This is also the ONLY session enabled for remote participation. You can comment or ask a question via the Zoom session. All other sessions (including the last one, Weds March 12 at the FHS auditorium) you need to be in the room to ask or comment.
