Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The approved police purchases will use existing Police Special Duty Fund money rather than the general operating budget. Finance officials are monitoring tax collections, which are below last year's level, along with unpaid snow-removal bills and overspending in legal and snow accounts. The board also discussed adding $500,000 to the operating budget for OVNA while seeking more oversight and a cost-benefit review of that service.
