The Town Council agenda, posted to the web site Sept 8, included a document relative to tax rate calculations attached to agenda item 6. This document has been replaced with a document that shows the distribution in the same format that has been used in previous years. There may be a new distribution model in the future that will restate some areas of municipal spending in what is known as Tax Increment Financing Districts. This new format will be discussed during the development of the FY17/18 budget. 

The Town Council will meet on Monday, September 12, 2016, at 7:00 pm at Town Hall in Council Chambers.
