IX.F. 2018-19 Budget Reductions as Recommended by the Board of Finance
Rationale:
The Board of Finance approved the BoE budget last evening, with the exception of $64,000. The discussion of the BoF was that they wanted to wait until the results of the safety and security audit, and support those recommendations to the town using money from the taxpayers from FY18.
