Last night was the second round of budget workshop for the 2016-2017 Municipal budgets. The workshop concentrated on departments controlled by Mr. Ryan Leighton. The workshop lasted for approximately two hours with the following break-down.
All these departments are asking for increases that total $493,761. This is not the final budget so do not panic yet; hopefully the Town Council can make serious adjustments before the budget is approved.
Public Works - $391,254.00
Solid Waste - $3,153.00
Town Buildings - $36,939.00
Technology - $55,173.00
Sewer Department - $7,242.00
If you add last night’s total of $493,761.00 and the first budget meeting of $115,052.00, the new total increase is $608,813.00. See if you can figure out what this does to your taxes?
