What's on this agenda

Garner's Town Council held a special budget work session June 8 to give staff direction on the FY27 budget ordinance -- the property tax rate, total full-time-equivalent staff count, and fee schedule -- ahead of formal adoption. Council reviewed the recommended FY27 budget, including capital and debt service funds and public feedback submitted through the town's budget portal, plus tax reallocation options.

Council discussion also touched on real-time crime center operations, including materials on Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) policy guardrails and data privacy -- a technology also under review by neighboring Apex's police department around the same time. Only the agenda was available, not minutes, so the direction Council actually gave on the tax rate, staffing, and fees is not recorded here.
