Presentation of Town Budget to Fin Com on March 19 & 26. Department budgets in folder below. Summary shows no increase in taxes to fund town operations.

For enterprise funds, no increase needed in Water and Sewer departments. Solid Waste and Recycling disposal costs continue to vex us (and every other community) and disposal and transportation costs are up significantly again for both types of materials The increase in costs is evenly distributed between "trash" and recyclables. This means that in order to operate that fund at a balanced budget, we will need to increase the cost of stickers slightly (from $120 to $130 annually for primary and $15 to $20 for secondary stickers) as well as bags (large from $2.50 to $3.50 and small from $1.25 to $1.75.)
