The Chapel Hill Town Council could adopt its final operating budget at its meeting Monday night.
Town manager Roger Stancil presented the recommended budget to the Town Council in early May. There have been three subsequent work sessions to discuss budget priorities since that presentation.
Stancil’s initial proposal included no tax increases and was a balanced budget that he considered to be a conservative approach because of market volatility.
“I’ve heard from different sources, different economics that although we might have a weak recovery, it’s perfectly feasible to think that within another year we could have the beginning of another recession,” Stancil told the council on May 9.
The Town Council will also consider the installation of a pedestrian bridge over Morgan Creek using 2015 bond funds and the council will hear presentations on the status of two public-private partnerships that include developments that will house fire facilities in Chapel Hill.
The meeting is scheduled to be held at Town Hall at seven o’clock Monday night.
