Curious, have you had a chance to look at the proposed budget yet? They are foregoing capital asset maintenance (roads, bridges, buildings, roofs etc.) in favour of parks for the most part.
Also, I could not find any mention of funds allocated to complete the Duffy’s Project. They allocated $30,000 for Belle Vue negotiations and dispositons? Charging $80,000 in taxes for the Belle Vue? They also mentioned that in November of 2024 they will reconsider a track at the High School that the school board has repeatedly said they will not help fund? No mention of how reserve funds are invested and what rate of return has been realized? I also found no reference for outstanding receivables like property tax arrears. What percentage are in arrears and how much is owed to the town?
