BOARD OF SELECTMEN
EMERGENCY MEETING APR. 17, 2003
TOWN OFFICE BUILDING 9:00 A.M.
First Selectman Patton called the meeting to order at 9:00 P.M. with the following in attendance: Selectmen Eldredge and Lewis. First Selectman Patton led the Pledge of Allegiance.
SET DATE FOR ANNUAL TOWN BUDGET MEETING
First Selectman Patton explained that we have to go to a single budget question for the Town budget. The Naugatuck Board of Education sued the Town of Naugatuck over separate budget questions. They won the cast and the law of the State now is that there is one budget for the towns. The case is in appeal. The questions on the ballot will be for the Town budget and Region 19 budget.
