Future Financial Discussion Topics

Post date: Oct 31, 2019 2:25:53 PM

From Jeffrey -

Per discussion with Jane and Jason, we'd like to continue an informal discussion about budgets, finance strategy, and taxes. Our goal is to learn and inform. We are inspired by the informative discussion about property assessments at our last meeting,

For Monday's discussion I'd like to identify key questions that we can tackle in future discussions. For example...

What will be the impact of marijuana taxes on the municipal budget?

What are the pros and cons of securing an AAA bond rating for the Town?

We'll note your questions and then I'll work offline with Jason to develop responses to priority questions in a fashion that does not create undue burden for Town staff. We'll discuss selected topics at future meetings, curating them to maximize the value of content as well as time economy.

Please bring to Monday's meeting your top questions about taxes, budgets, finances, debt, free cash, OPEBs, and other related items.
