Some of the highlights of the proposed budget include a proposed tax levy for next year which is $7,600 less or a decrease of 0.28%, $10,000 to explore bringing back a town bulk clean up day, an additional $15,000 for the town’s road paving budget, an allocation of $36,000 to the Building Reserve Fund for future plans to erect a new garage for the Highway Department, $5000 in most of the reserve accounts, and $69,000 in contingency.
