Selectman confirms mill rate at 25.35; transcript unclear on total budget increase
Summary
Bill Morrison confirmed the mill rate remains at 25.35 and reported reductions of $154,000 (bringing total cuts to $415,215); a subsequent statement about a total increase is unclear in the transcript and the exact dollar figure is not specified.
Bill Morrison, speaking for Selectman Thomas Stafford, stated "The mill rate remains at $25.35." He reiterated that the recent $154,000 reduction contributes to total reductions of $415,215 since the first failed referendum.
When describing the overall budget change, Morrison said a figure that is unclear in the transcript: "a total reduction or the total budget at this point, including the Board of Selected, Debt Service, Board of Finance, and the library, is an increase of 1.22 or an increase of 574008 54." The dollar amount and phrasing are garbled in the recorded text; the transcript does not provide a clear total-dollar figure or a clear explanation of the "1.22" reference. The transcript therefore records the mill rate and the reductions but not a reliable overall increase in dollars.
