CHAPEL HILL – The Chapel Hill Town Council will identify budget priorities at a work session on Wednesday.
Click here for the Council’s Wednesday agenda.
In a memo to the council, Town Manager Roger Stancil notes that the economic recovery is not moving fast enough to meet the town’s needs. He says revenues have only just returned to the levels seen in 2008, while expenses have continued to rise.
To cope with ongoing shortfalls, the town will make the shift this year to priority budgeting.
That process gets underway this week when council members will vote by anonymous ballot to rank key goals and objectives. Staffers will then compare these goals with town programs and projects to identify where funding is needed most and where reductions can be made.
The budget work session starts at 6 o’clock Wednesday at the Town Operations Center on Millhouse Road in Public Works Building Two.
