Social Entrepreneurship Council Seeks Public Input on Budget By Sarah Brier Staff Writer After several meeting delays due to the wintry weather conditions, Chapel Hill Town Council members said strong public support would be crucial at tonight’s council meeting and public hearing on the budget. Although the road conditions are not expected to be favorable, council mem bers said they hoped this did not keep residents from coming to the meeting, scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. Because the weather last week forced the cancellation of various town meet ings, tonight’s session will include issues from last Monday’s meeting, last Tuesday’s canceled budget meeting and the regularly scheduled budget meeting for today, council member Pat Evans said. “We usually have a good turnout of nieniion freshmen!

Council member Flicka Bateman said it was important for residents to know how town money would be spent. “(The town staff) is proposing a 5- cent (tax) increase,” she said. “No one on council wants that, and we won’t pass it. We try to meet the service needs of citizens but we are looking for some thing to cut and that’s the hard part." Town Manager Cal Horton said the budget included everything from transit and police to planning and revenue. “The key point at this time is that we are at the beginning of the budget devel opment process,” he said.
