Board of Finance sets 2026–27 mill rate at 27.3 mills
Summary
At a June 2, 2026 special meeting, the Board of Finance voted 4–1 to set the 2026–2027 mill rate at 27.3 mills. The motion was made by Jerry Mullen and seconded by Don Riley; First Selectman Doug Thompson and Finance Director Stuart Nguyen were present.
Jerry Mullen, a board member, moved Tuesday to set the mill rate for the 2026–2027 fiscal year at 27.3 mills; Don Riley, a board member and acting secretary, seconded the motion. The board voted 4–1 to adopt the mill rate.
The vote came during a special meeting recorded in the board minutes dated June 2, 2026. The minutes list Steve Carrier, John Kirchner, Sue Brault and Don Riley as the other board members present, and note that First Selectman Doug Thompson and Finance Director Stuart Nguyen also attended. The minutes show the meeting was called to order at 7:52 p.m.
Setting the mill rate is a formal budget decision that determines the property tax rate for the coming fiscal year. The board did not provide additional detail in the minutes about debate, proposed alternatives, or projected revenue impacts.
The board later approved a separate motion authorizing a transfer from the Highway Fund for equipment and then voted unanimously to adjourn. The minutes include a later line reading "Meeting was called at 8.00 PM:" alongside the acting secretary's name; the record does not explicitly reconcile that line with the 7:52 p.m. call to order.
