Yesterday, the Selectboard discovered an error in the 2024 Town Budget that was presented at the public hearing on February 8, 2024. That budget has already been printed in the Town’s annual report and posted in accordance with RSA 39:5.
A quick call to the DRA assured the Selectboard that the budget may be amended at Town Meeting, March 16, 2024. That is what Selectboard will do. New copies of the budget will be available at Town Hall, on the Town’s website (LINK) and be distributed at Town Meeting. The Warrant Article #2 for the 2024 budget will now read as follows: To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate the sum of five million four hundred eighty-eight thousand, four hundred thirty-four dollars ($5,488,434) which represents four million seven hundred twelve thousand thirty-three dollars ($4,712,033) for the Town Operating Budget to be raised from general taxation; two hundred twenty thousand, three hundred twenty-seven dollars ($220,327) for the Water Operating Budget and for five hundred fifty-six thousand seventy-four dollars ($556,074) for the Sewer Operating Budget which includes one hundred eighty thousand dollars ($180,000) for bond assessments. Such sum does not include any special or individual articles found in the warrant. The changes are in bold. They represent a 3.85% increase in budget which was the percentage presented at the 2024 Budget Public Meeting. The Selectboard regrets the error which would have represented a 5.06% increase to the 2024 Town Budget which was never our intention, nor our plan. Comments are closed.
