Selectmen place $47,867,028 fiscal 2026–27 budget before Stafford voters on July 29 referendum
Summary
The Board of Selectmen’s resolution, read at the July 22 special town meeting, places a $47,867,028 budget on a referendum ballot for July 29, 2026 at the Stafford Public Library; the reading cites Connecticut General Statutes §7-7.
The meeting officer (S6) read a resolution previously approved by the Board of Selectmen that removes item 1 from the town meeting call and places this question on the ballot for a referendum: "Shall the Town of Stafford approve a budget in the amount of $47,867,028 as approved and recommended by the Board of Finance for the fiscal year beginning 07/01/2026 and ending 06/30/2027?" The referendum is scheduled for July 29, 2026, between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. at the Stafford Public Library.
The resolution reading cites "Connecticut general statute section 7 dash 7" as the statutory authority under which the Board of Selectmen acted. The meeting officer instructed voters that absentee ballots would be available from the town clerk’s office and said the question would appear on the machines or ballot under the heading described in the resolution.
