Town Treasurer’s Report (July 1, 2014 - June 30, 2015)

Hello from the Treasurer; In this year’s town report there are two charts; a 5-Year tax assessment table and the chart below showing the various operating expenses as a percent to total operating costs. The town’s revenues in 2015 are comparable and actually better than in 2014. Our expenses were up 3.5% primarily as a result of an increase in public safety expenses and education costs. Our fund balance remains strong at $2,628,940, a slight decrease of $17,232 from 2014. The complete post-audit report for the last municipal year ending June 30, 2015, is on file at the municipal office. As always, please fee free to contact me or stop in if you should have any questions. Respectfully, Carol Rico
