Latest version.
  • 1. After the public
      hearing, the town  board  may  further  change,  alter  and  revise  the
      preliminary budget, subject, however, to the requirements of subdivision
      one of section one hundred seven of this chapter.
        2.  The  preliminary  budget  as submitted or amended shall be finally
      adopted by resolution of the town board not later than the twentieth day
      of November, except that in towns in Westchester and Monroe counties not
      later than the twentieth day of  December.  The  preliminary  budget  as
      adopted  shall be known as the annual budget for the town for the fiscal
      year beginning on the first day of January next succeeding, and it shall
      be entered in the minutes of the town board.
        3. Upon the adoption of the resolution required by  this  section  the
      amounts  proposed to be appropriated shall thereupon be appropriated. In
      the event that the town board shall fail to adopt a  budget  as  of  the
      twentieth  day  of  November,  or  in  towns  in  Westchester and Monroe
      counties as of the twentieth day of December,  the  preliminary  budget,
      with such changes, alterations and revisions, if any, as shall have been
      made  by  the  town  board,  shall constitute the budget for the ensuing
      fiscal year.
