Supervisor Hammond, Councilman McEwen and Councilman Kenyon will be attending a meeting to be held by the State Comptroller’s Office regarding the tax cap.
It is the sole responsibility of the town board to approve a budget that is in compliance with the levy limit law or to enact an override. The Town Board will hold a budget workshop on October 6, 2011 at 5 p.m. With all the variables involved with the tax cap and time restraints, a public hearing will be held on October 13, 2011 on a proposed local law to override the tax levy limit. This will allow sufficient time to adopt the local law if the Town Board deems it necessary. The state has said the public hearing may be held on the same date as the hearing on the preliminary budget, however, the local law must be filed with the Secretary of State. In order to comply, as the Town does with all other local laws, a public hearing would normally be held on October 13, 2011 allowing time to adopt and file with the Secretary of State. The local law would become effective with the date of filing. At the present time the State has said they would waive this filing time. If the Town Board passes the override local law, they do not have to exceed the levy limit. Preliminary budget public hearings will be held October 27, 2011. All meetings are open to the public and the Town Board encourages residents to attend throughout the process.
RESOLUTION
