Town representatives brief Region 20 finance committee on draft FY27 budget impacts
Summary
Representatives from Goshen, Litchfield, Morris and Warren addressed the Region 20 Ad Hoc Finance Advisory Committee on March 26, 2026 about how the district's draft FY27 budget would affect town budgets; the minutes record statements and a committee Q&A but do not record the substantive content of the town remarks.
The Region 20 Ad Hoc Finance Advisory Committee heard town representatives from Goshen, Litchfield, Morris and Warren describe the anticipated impact of the district's draft FY27 budget on municipal finances during its March 26, 2026 special meeting. Chair Tiffany Parkhouse called the meeting to order at 6:01 p.m.
The minutes record that the committee "first heard statements from the town representatives, followed by a discussion, questions and answers from the committee participants." The record lists Bob Valentine (Board of Finance, Goshen), Sam Olmstead (Board of Finance, Litchfield), Michael Schwarzchild (alternate member, Board of Finance, Morris) and Bob Gerber (Board of Finance, Warren) as the town presenters; the minutes do not include verbatim remarks or specific dollar amounts from those statements.
Committee members listed as present included Chair Tiffany Parkhouse, Secretary Ashley Hall Daddona and Treasurer John Morosani, along with Krista Rizzo, Susan Wheeler, Margaret Hunt, Kara Cruoglio, Diane Barnes, Billie Jean Sideris, Scott Pottbecker and Rob DeLayo. District leaders at the table included Superintendent Jeffrey Villar, Ph.D., Assistant Superintendent Julie Haggard and Chief Financial Officer Julia Cardillo.
Because the minutes summarize that the committee conducted a question-and-answer period but do not record the substance of testimony from the town representatives, the public record available from these minutes does not specify what budget lines, revenue assumptions, or municipal impacts were described. The committee did not take formal votes on the FY27 draft during this meeting.
The meeting record shows there were no public comments, and the committee adjourned at 7:02 p.m. The Board is scheduled to receive related updates at its regular meeting on April 9, 2026, where further details or formal actions could appear.
