The Board held an open forum regarding the proposed FY10 budget. The TM gave an overview of where the Town has been and where it is headed. Total expenditures will be $23.4 million; new revenues for the current year are at $650,000; proposed FY10 new revenues are anticipated to be ($30,000). This dramatic change has required significant efforts to reduce costs. Everything is on the board to look at, including Tri-town regionalization.
