Regular meeting Budget and appropriations

Agenda document Watch

What's on this agenda

Morrisville's council devotes this full day of its annual winter retreat to the town budget. After a morning welcome and ground-rules session, members spend two hours brainstorming budget ideas, then turn to strategies for gathering public input on the budget in a session that runs to lunch.

The afternoon covers future budget needs and obligations for three hours, then capital improvement plan prioritization for two hours, before a wrap-up and prep for the next day. The agenda lists no votes or dollar figures. It names a staff presentation for each session without describing what the presentation says.
