A

The work of Town Council is always hard. The priorities and wants, whether expressed by the citizens you

talk to, or their own individually or collectively, will always be more than can fit in any one budget year. I

am hopeful the efforts made by staff year-round help you thoughtfully deliberate and approve the Fiscal

Year 2020 budget.

I am also fortunate for unwavering support and commitment to the Town by my right-hand and left-hand

team – Jeanne Hooks and Todd Wright. Each year we grow and learn together to produce this report.

Although the result is a proposed budget, the contributions of Jeanne and Todd are felt year-round.

CONCLUSION

The Fiscal Year 2020 proposed operating budget and capital investment program will be presented to Town

Council and the citizens of Morrisville at the Tuesday, May 7 Town Council meeting. The budget portal will

open to facilitate and promote public input. Discussion of the budget will continue in a work session on

Monday, May 13. The public hearing is scheduled for May 28. A final work session will occur on May 30,

with scheduled adoption planned for June 11.

Public information and Drop-In opportunities for citizens to learn more, ask questions and provide

comment will be planned during May.

Sincerely,

Martha Paige

Town Manager/Budget Officer
