Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
Residents will vote separately on whether to approve an additional $9 million and an additional $11 million in real estate and personal property taxes for municipal government and public schools. The proposed budget faces major cost pressures, including more than $2 million in higher health insurance costs, and would reduce staffing in several departments. The proposed library budget is below the state certification threshold, which could mean reduced hours, a branch closure, or a temporary waiver.
