Windsor Town Manager William Saunders presented the Windsor Town Council on Tuesday, Jan. 14, with a draft of the town’s fiscal year 2026 budget calendar, which includes items each month from January through June.

“I made a few changes from last year, not a lot, but a few changes, but that takes us down to (budget) adoption at the regular June meeting,” he said to council members. “I tried to keep it as much as I could on regular meetings’ (dates) to limit the number of work sessions, unless, like particularly in April, we just want to have them. We could have the number we feel is relevant.”
