![]() A few things to consider as we approach the 2024 Town Budget process: Over the next 4+ months, there will be many more meetings within the 2024 budget process including public interaction, culminating with a Town Board vote on a 2024 budget in October/November 2023. I've found these initial meetings in the budget process can be quite robust as to questions asked and conversations had. Foundational to the process is that the department head is in possession of their 2023 budget, along with year to date actuals. The initial meetings give the department head a chance to present their proposed 2024 budget. Conversely, the Personnel/Human Resources department has a relatively small annual dollar budget, and minimal full time equivalent personnel in its employment. For example, the Highway department is one of the larger departments in town, both in annual budget dollars and personnel it employs. Depending on the size of the department, these initial 2024 budget meetings can go from 15-minutes to 2+ hours.
