September means the end of summer and the beginning of the Town’s budget process. On Monday, September 9 the Town will have its second Financial Summit. The public presentation will include an overview of the Town’s financial indicators, the anticipated FY 2021 revenue forecast, projected economic development, budget drivers and forecast, and a five-year financial forecast. The presentation will be held in the large hearing room at 7:15pm. The presenters at the financial summit will be Louise Miller, Town Administrator; Brian Keveny, Finance Director; Arthur Unobskey, School Superintendent; and Susan Bottan, Director of Finance and Operations for the School Department.
Residents are invited to attend this important meeting along with the Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee, School Committee, department heads, and members of all town boards and committees.
The next steps in the budget process are the issuance of the FY 2021 budget guidelines, submission and review of the operating budgets in October and November and the capital budgets in December. The Finance Committee will review all budget requests in January and adopt the final recommended omnibus budget by the end of February.
Please join us when the whole process begins on September 9.
