The Town Council will discuss Covid 19, the appearance and maintenance of Fairview Town Center and the 2021 Town Budget, among other topics at Tuesday’s meeting. Of note is that the 2021 Town Proposed Budget recommends no tax rate increase even though Covid 19 has caused declining sales tax revenue and increased overtime costs in the fire department. There will be a public hearing on the proposed 2021 budget at the September 1, 2020 Town Council meeting followed by a vote to approve the related ordinances on the 2021 budget.
