The Town Council Budget Work Session on April 29, 2025, focused on the 2025-2026

to ensure accountability, with a particular emphasis on the Community Action and NRV
Housing Trust Fund. The budget highlights included a $660,000 ARPA fund allocation, a
$2 million VIP fund, and a balanced budget with no general fund fee increases. Concerns
were raised about the sustainability of cigarette tax and meals tax revenues, which were
38% and 46% below projections, respectively. The council also discussed the need for
vehicle replacements and the impact of inflation on the budget.
