FISCAL YEAR CHANGE: Now that Mount Desert is changing its fiscal year to July-June, ADD would be unable to get any funds during the first six months of a calendar year. For this reason, ADD will change to a July-June fiscal year as well. This year we will have an 18 month budget, to carry us from January 2008 through June of 2009.
BUDGET: An 18 month budget has been prepared and sent to all the towns for review. It calls for total expenditures of $43,000, but this will be offset by a carry forward from 2007 of $10,326.40, leaving $32863.51 to be raised. The town shares, based on 2007 MSW tonnages are as follows:
Cranberry: $334.24
Mount Desert $8,566.84
Tremont $5,086.54
