As in past years, it’s fair to say, that without the tireless efforts of this collective group, the municipality would not continue to operate on a sound financial and operational basis. We continue to work towards implementing the vision of the Comprehensive Plan adopted in June of 2015 with still much to do, although significant progress is being made by the Planning Board and other committees. This is a journey that the Town has embarked on that will impact what our community looks and feels like for any years to come. As many of you know, this past fiscal year brought with it significant change in how we will vote on our annual budgets going forward when voters approved moving away from the traditional Town Meeting to referendum voting. We held our last Town Meeting as the year came to a close which approved our current budget. Starting in June of 2018, we will approve the Municipal Budget request with referendum voting. The Board continues to work with the Town Administer to improve municipal services, with, as always, an eye towards developing more efficient ways of utilizing our limited recourses. With many of the mandates and reduction in funding coming down from State Government, this will always be a challenge. This year, as in the past, will present many new and different hurdles. The Board’s priorities continue to be focused on developing solutions that will meet and address each challenge as it surfaces. We are committed to increasing the transparency of town government and will continue to take steps to improve communications with the public, our employees, departments and committee’s though-out the future.
