The Lee Town Board plans to vote on its 2027 budget at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2026, at Lee Town Hall, 5808 Stokes Lee Center Road, the Rome Sentinel reported after the Oct. 26 public hearing on the tentative plan.

At the hearing, Town Clerk Christine Pfeiffer asked for a $963 yearly raise and a move from part-time to full-time. Her job is budgeted at $33,072 with no benefits; she said her hours are already close to full-time. Board member Jennifer McCullough backs the raise.

A resident attorney questioned the $60,000 budgeted for town attorney Evan Rossi and asked for an itemized list of services. Supervisor L. James Jones Jr. said he would request one. Total spending and the tax levy weren't in the report.
