In February the Board of Finance reviewed revenue and expenditure projections for next year, as submitted by unanimous votes by the Boards of Selectmen and Education and prepared by their respective administrations. After duly considering all relevant information, the Board of Finance, without dissent, set operating budget guidelines of under 3 percent for the FY21 budget that will be submitted by the other two boards to the Board of Finance on March 30.
