Dear Timnath Residents,

This year’s budget is a reflection of a town that is not just growing in size but growing up. You will see funding for expanded recreation programming and investments in new technology and traffic and pedestrian safety. Several additional positions that contractors have traditionally filled will be turned into in-house employees in 2025 and 2026, and we will continue to evaluate positions and whether it makes sense to have them contracted or in-house.

We are being very thoughtful about when these transitions take place. You will also see us investing in designs and master planning studies to help us guide decisions for our Town’s future. We are changing our reporting and department structure to be more transparent and provide you with more meaningful data. With all of these changes, we are still operating with a structurally sound budget and ‘living within our means.’

I am looking forward to seeing how our Town evolves in the near future and providing you with even better municipal services.

Sincerely,

Mayor Robert Axmacher
