This week is a lighter one in local government, in part because of the Memorial Day holiday. But it’s still budget season with the new fiscal year starting in just over a month, and several town and county boards are meeting this week to continue their respective budget talks – including a work session for the Hillsborough town board, a public hearing for Durham County Commissioners, and (never to be outdone) both a work session and a public hearing for Orange County Commissioners, in the space of three days.

Here’s a rundown of local government meetings this week in Durham, Orange, and Chatham Counties:

The Hillsborough Board of Commissioners has a budget work session at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 27. Click here for the full agenda, which also includes proclamations recognizing Gun Violence Awareness Day, LGBTQ Pride Month, and former mayor Horace Johnson, who passed away earlier this month.

Orange County Commissioners meet twice this week, on Tuesday, May 27 and again on Thursday, May 29, both at 7 p.m. in the Whitted Building in Hillsborough. Both meetings are budget-related: on Tuesday the board will hold a work session to discuss the recommended budgets for various county boards; on Thursday the board will hold a public hearing to get residents’ feedback on County Manager Travis Myren’s overall budget proposal.
