Pursuant to Sections 7-2, 7-3 and 7-4 of the Charter of the Town of Cheshire, Connecticut, the Cheshire Town Council and the Water Pollution Control Authority will hold a public hearing on Monday, August 18, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. in Town Council Chambers, 84 South Main Street, Cheshire. Electors and other persons qualified to vote in Cheshire will be given an opportunity to comment on the following proposed appropriations for the Capital Expenditure Budget of the Town for the 2025-2026 Fiscal Year, and the issuance of bonds, notes and temporary notes to finance certain appropriations within said budget.

The Town Council may, after the public hearing and prior to adopting the proposed Capital Expenditure Budget, add or delete items, increase or decrease estimated appropriations and borrowing amounts, expand, reduce, delete or otherwise modify the scope of any of the projects described above, and reallocate the amount of proposed appropriations and proposed borrowing among projects. After the public hearing, the Council will hold a meeting and reject or adopt the Capital Expenditure Budget, as modified, or any part of the Budget, and no further public hearing will be held. The Council will also adopt resolutions making appropriations and authorizing the issuance of bonds or notes to implement the Annual Capital Expenditure Plan projects, and the holding of a referendum if necessary, in accordance with Sections 7-3 and 7-4 of the Charter. The Council has submitted the proposed Annual Capital Expenditure Budget to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a report pursuant to Section 8-24 of the Connecticut General Statutes. If the Council modifies the scope of any of the projects described above following its public hearing, and adopts appropriation and bonding resolutions for the project, it will refer such modified project to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a report. The Council will consider any such report after it is received at a subsequent meeting as permitted by Section 8-24 of the Connecticut General Statues. The Council may, in its discretion, group individual items or projects together into general items or projects where those projects have a natural relationship with one another when preparing and acting on appropriation and/or borrowing resolutions and/or questions for submission to referendum. The portion of the hearing pertaining to sewer construction if applicable will be a joint hearing with the Water Pollution Control Authority in accordance with Section 7-247a of the Connecticut General Statutes.
