Monday night (6/8/26), the Board of Finance met to discuss the most recent failed budget referendum and made the following adjustments by unanimous vote.
Reduce the budgets by the following:
Board of Selectman- $150,000
Capital Improvement- $350,000
Board of Education - $400,000
Board of Finance- $50,000
These reductions represent a decrease to the current mill rate. A newly proposed mill rate was established at 33.20 mills. This mill rate will be reflected on the July 2026 tax bill. The Board of Selectman is targeting Tuesday, June 23rd as the next referendum date. This date will be finalized at the Board of Selectman meeting on Tuesday June 16th at 7pm. The public will have the option of voicing their opinions on where the reductions should be made from prior to the Board of Selectman deliberations.
Thank you,
First Selectman, Kevin Witkos
