The proposed budget could mean fewer staff in several departments, which may lead to longer wait times for services, inspections, and taxpayer inquiries. Property insurance costs may require a supplemental appropriation if the city’s August rebid produces higher rates. The committee also reviewed a $1.9 million grant for energy-efficiency upgrades at Fairway School and planned to complete department reviews before a budget vote by June 9.
