What is the statutory introduction date for calendar year municipalities?

Calendar-year municipalities must introduce their proposed budget by a fixed date in February to start the budget process early enough for hearings and final adoption within the statutory timetable. For these municipalities, the statutory introduction date is February 10. This creates a predictable deadline and distinguishes the February 10 date from other dates such as January 15, March 1, or April 1, which would miss the required deadline.
