Franklin (MA) Matters

This session of the radio show shares the Finance Committee meeting held on Wednesday, November 8, 2023. They met as scheduled to review the adjustments to the FY 2024 budget. These adjustments are a checkpoint in the full budget process. Some assumptions made early in the process (i.e. for State funds) can now be adjusted to be more real as the State budget, still in development at the time Franklin's was developed, is now finalized. Well, almost but that is another item for another day.These adjustments are made each year before the Town Council tax classification hearing sets the rate later this month (Tues, Nov 21). The Town Administrator's memo outlined the adjustments to reduce new growth, local receipts, and among other items add $1,000 to the Disability Commission to enable the funding for the annual Disability Expo. For some unknown reason, they previously did not have a budget at all ->   https://www.franklinmatters.org/2023/11/fiscal-year-2024-fy24-budget-adjustment.htmlOne o
