Dear fellow Hanoverians:
With the governor’s recently announced cuts to local
aid and the overall current and continuing decline in revenues, I am sure the
topic of this meeting will not be of a surprise to anyone. While this
meeting is geared to Town boards, committees, employees and unions, many of you
wear one of those hats and/or are just plain interested. This will
certainly become a topic for discussion at Town Meeting in May. With my thanks
to the good folks of the HTA, I am pleased to provide the following
information:
The Board of Selectmen will be
hosting a Town-wide Budget Workshop with the purpose of discussing the upcoming
challenges for FY ’09 and our anticipated revenues for FY ’10.
At this workshop, the Selectmen
would like each individual Department to identify the areas that may be
impacted during these challenging times. The Selectmen will provide
additional financial information on or before January 27th. It
is the intention of this meeting to allow each individual department to share
their challenges with every other department.
The workshop will be held on
Saturday, February 7, 2009 at 9:00 AM, at the Center School, 65 Silver Street,
Hanover, MA.
We encourage all boards,
employees, and bargaining units to attend. Please reserve the
date.
