What's on this agenda

The town council takes up a $1,055,541 budget amendment that recognizes new revenue and pays for a land deal: $799,200 moves through the Parks Payment-in-Lieu fund toward the Marcom property acquisition, offset by a matching drop in expected bond proceeds. The amendment also books $121,341 in Powell Bill road funds and $135,000 in ARPA interest for work at the MCP playground. On the consent agenda, the council would also adopt updates to the town's fiscal policies, including a higher state-required threshold for daily cash deposits and new conflict-of-interest language on gifts and favors.

Two other policies get a first briefing rather than a vote: a rewrite of the town's personnel policies covering pay, leave and separation rules, and a new sponsorship and facility-naming-rights policy that would let outside groups pay to sponsor or name town facilities. Both return April 9 for a vote. The meeting also includes a quarterly update on ten capital projects, a police department presentation, and proclamations for Child Abuse Awareness Month and Local Government Budget and Finance Professionals Week.
