Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The proposed FY27 budget does not require using stabilization funds, but the town’s longer-term forecast shows those funds running out after FY29. Because of spending limits and rising utility, software, subscription, and staffing costs, the immediate staffing priority is public safety. The committee also discussed streamlining future public budget hearings and providing residents with clearer departmental budget information before hearings.
