“NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON THE TOWN OF FROMBERG’S BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025”

tfa queries wheth ‘Publication Notice’ of 8 days (via the Carbon County News, ie: August 29, 2025 through September 5, 2024) is an adequate amount of time for a Preliminary Budget Hearing? With the Final Budget Hearing a mere 4 days afterward (including a weekend)? Additionally, why isn’t said notice published TOF’s official website: http://www.fromberg-mt.com/

To facilitate public participation well as allowing research prior to said meetings, shouldn’t a brief synopsis of said TOF 2024 Budget also be placed on the aforementioned website?

The following is sourced from the 8.29.2024 edition of the Carbon County News:
