Here’s how it works: The Budget Officer (who is sometimes also the Town Supervisor), creates a Tentative Budget, which must be presented to the Town Board by10/5. The Town Board then weighs in on that budget to create the Preliminary Budget. The Preliminary Budget is made available for the public and a public hearing must be held by 11/15. After hearing public comment, the town board has another opportunity to make changes. They must adopt a final budget by 11/20. The Ulysses Town Board will set a public hearing date soon.
