Dear fellow Hanoverians:
At Town Meeting on Monday, May 3rd, the residents
of Hanover voted a municipal budget of $45,601,152 to pay for the general and
reserve fund expenses for the town in fiscal year 2011. It was a
unanimous vote.
In a separate meeting also on the evening of May 3rd,
but just prior to Town Meeting, members of the Board of Selectman voted to further
reduce the town’s projected expenditures for FY ’11. Budgets
for the Police Department, Fire Department, Department of Municipal Inspections
and Selectmen were reduced. The Selectman proposed to cut specific
budgetary line items and positions from the aforementioned budgets, including
the Fire Prevention Officer, Personnel Administration, a clerk in the
Department of Municipal Inspections, and secretarial time in the Police and
Fire Departments. The total dollar amount to be cut in FY ’11 was
$119,000 and $239,000 in FY ’12.
This matter is due to be discussed again at a meeting of the
Board of Selectmen on Monday, May 24th that begins at 7:00 p.m. in
Town Hall. This particular agenda item may or may not be taken up later
in the meeting due to other business before the Selectmen.
