The Town of Hamlet’s 2020 budget will be up for adoption during tonight’s town council meeting. Clerk-Treasurer Kristina Pitts is proposing a reduction of almost $19,000 from this year’s budget, since more money is expected to be lost to the property tax cap. Hamlet’s proposed budget totals more than $448,000, with just over $311,000 of that being the General Fund.
Council members may also continue discussing updates to the town’s zoning map. Last month, town officials pointed out that the 2005 zoning map didn’t reflect the way much of the land is actually being used. It also leaves off the storage facility north of U.S. 30 that has been annexed into the town.
Tonight’s Hamlet Town Council meeting will take place at the town hall, following the 6:30 p.m. park board meeting.
