Financial Summary
The meeting centered on review of the proposed fiscal year 2026-2027 budget by cost center, along with the associated property tax millage rate proposed to support it. No specific dollar figures, millage rates, or line-item amounts were recorded in the minutes. Treasurer Don Lewis asked about the State Shared Revenue amount; Clerk Pam Laureto responded that it was better to underestimate a revenue figure, since it can always be amended upward. No budget adoption vote occurred at this hearing.
Action Items
No specific tasks, deadlines, or assignments were recorded beyond the ongoing budget review process. The State Shared Revenue estimate raised by Treasurer Lewis may warrant follow-up as the budget process continues.
