Following a public hearing that drew one speaker with praise for the Lee fire district’s proposed 2020 budget, the spending plan is expected to be approved without changes.
The town Board of Fire Commissioners “has not heard anything here” that would “incline us to change anything” in the budget proposal, board Chairman Patrick Hetherington said following the brief hearing Tuesday night at the Lee Center firehouse.
The board will consider budget adoption at its Nov. 4 meeting. Hetherington commented “unless something comes out of the woodwork” regarding modifications that may be needed, “we would move forward on this.” If some changes do surface, he noted he would “fully explain at the November meeting” for the public.
