Town Meeting Reimagined:

Approximately 50 participants attended the Kickoff Meeting, offering input and ideas for the annual budget. Thank you to those who were able to join in person or on Zoom. The video of the meeting and slide presentation can be viewed at: Town Meeting Reimagined. A summary of the small group discussions will be posted on Join in Jericho in the upcoming weeks.

The Kickoff Meeting was the first of THREE community meetings and budget discussions are ongoing. Stay tuned for more budget information at upcoming Selectboard meetings and mark your calendar for January 23, 2025 for the second community meeting which will feature the draft budget prepared by the Selectboard and will replicate the traditional “Town Meeting” in most aspects with the exception of casting votes (that will happen in March).
