The Town of Lakeview’s budget process.
The Town’s budget meetings are being held electronically. The first meeting will be held May 28, 2020 at 5:00 pm. The purpose of the meeting is to receive the budget message and to receive comment from the public on the budget. The second meeting is tentatively scheduled on June 9, 2020 at 5:00 pm and will take place on an as needed basis.
The meetings will be streamed live via the Town’s Facebook Page. Public comments will be taken in the order they are received and after prior public comments sent in by email are addressed.

These are public meetings where deliberation of the budget committee will take place. Any person may provide comment at the meetings. Notice of publication is also available at Budget 2020-2021.
The Town of Lakeview Charter requires the town manager to prepare and transmit to the council an annual budget. The town manager is assisted in this responsibility by a budget committee committee made up of local residents. The budget committee reviews and may revise the proposed budget before it is formally adopted.
Local Budget Law is designed to give the public ample opportunity to participate in the budgeting process. After the budget committee approves the budget, the town council publishes a summary of the budget and holds a public hearing, at which any person may appear for or against any item in the budget. These requirements encourage public participation in budget making. They also give public exposure to budgeted programs and fiscal policies before the Town adopts the budget.
