Middletown board adopts $52.7 million proposed budget; tax levy kept within cap
Summary
The Middletown board approved the city's proposed general, water and sewer budget, listing total appropriations of about $52.7 million and estimated revenues around $28.0 million; officials said the tax levy remains within the tax cap. Several smaller transfers and grant acceptances accompanied the vote.
Middletown approved its proposed fiscal-year budget after a presentation by the treasurer and a voice vote by the full board.
The treasurer presented the combined appropriations and revenue figures for the general, water and sewer funds and the board authorized the totals as presented. The transcript records total appropriations announced as $52,728,811 and estimated revenues of $28,000,001.51; a tax levy figure was described in the record but the transcript formatting made the exact number unclear. The chair said the levy is within the tax cap.
Board members did not request separate adjustments to the water and sewer figures during the meeting. The budget approval was accompanied by multiple smaller transfers earlier in the agenda, including moves within parks, police and community development budgets to cover personnel and program costs.
The board closed the advertised public hearing on the budget earlier in the meeting after staff confirmed the notice had been published and no members of the public attended in person or online.
The next formal step for the budget (timing or required state filings) was not specified in the transcript.
