What's on this agenda

The Morrisville Town Council would authorize a second amendment to its memorandum of understanding with Singh Development LLC for the Town Center project, pushing the deadline for a Development Services Agreement to February 28, 2024, and would approve a pre-development agreement letting Singh begin up to $900,000 of pre-development work, including a 7% management fee of $60,000. Neither resolution commits the town to adopting the DSA.

The council would also get its first look at the manager's proposed FY2024 budget, a $48.2 million General Fund spending plan, up from $45.8 million the year before. The recommended property tax rate holds at $0.39 per $100 of valuation, with 3 cents going to debt service on bonds voters approved in 2021. The budget adds four positions and proposes a $1,238,800 draw from fund balance; a public hearing and final guidance are set for May 23, with adoption planned for June 13. Separately, the council would review proposed amendments to the town's personnel policy manual, set to take effect July 1 if adopted at the May 23 meeting.
