      It is that time of the year when town board duties includes preparing a town budget for the next calendar year. The required process is set forth in Wis.Stats 60.40. Typically, in October, a board designated committee prepares a working draft budget and submits it to the board supervisors for a first review. Supervisors have approximately one month (until November board meeting) to review the draft. The supervisors also approve posting a budget summary that includes the scheduling of a public hearing for the town electors to have opportunity to ask questions and make suggestions concerning the budget. The Town of Buffalo Budget Public Hearing is TUESDAY NOVEMBER 19, 2024, 6:45 PM. The agenda for the November monthly board meeting of supervisors will include approval of the budget with any amendments based on supervisor review and public input. The approved budget is also added to the December monthly board meeting to make any additions or corrections before entering the budget in the record for 2025.

SPECIAL NOTE:  This may be the last narrative that appears in this website as the town has received word that the cost of the website has been raised by 300%!  This cost is prohibitive so we are seeking assistance in developing a new website.

UPDATE:  We are in negotiations with the website company and may yet work something out that allows us to continue with this site.  Until then or until they close us down, we will add information.
