As the U.S. experiences an economic downturn as a result of COVID19, Town of Herndon officials plan to revise the previously proposed budget for fiscal year 2021.
Herndon Town Manager William Ashton II recently decided that the budget is no longer fitting for the town’s needs, according to a press release.
The budget will require “comprehensive changes” before a new draft is presented to the town council and public, the press release said.
To give everyone time to rethink the budget and make essential changes to the plan, Ashton suggested that required public hearings for the new budget be scheduled for May 12 and May 26, according to the press release.
“This gives staff time to adjust anticipated revenues, which are already significantly impacted by the pandemic,” Ashton said in the press release. “As a result, we expect comprehensive changes in our anticipated expenditures. Many of the assumptions in the current proposed budget are no longer valid.”
Typically, the town must adopt a budget prior to June 30, according to the press release, which added that the fiscal year typically begins on July 1.
