At the November 18th meeting we added some perspective on the NYS tax cap.
Resident engagement with the Budget process was dismal. No one provided comment during the Public Hearings.
People! Did you understand that these October meetings were when the 2021 Budget was decided? You had a chance for input and did not use it. Do we need a community education campaign?
Please respond to this question to sbollinger@townofmanlius.org.
Noise Control
The Board discussed proposed revisions to the existing Noise Ordinance to make it more enforceable. Many thanks to the residents who provided Public Comment.
