LIVERMORE FALLS — Selectmen are expected to finalize a proposed $2.89 million municipal budget at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Town Office.
The 2022-23 spending plan is $164,510.45 more than the current budget.
Town Manager Amanda Allen has made changes, including creating two new categories for professional services and recreation.
The professional service category includes $28,000 for assessing agent. That line had been in the elected officials budget since at least 2016-17. For the past four years the amount was $39,653. The change brings the elected officials line to $11,653.
Expenses were also removed from the administration line, which is proposed at $318,929, down from this fiscal year’s $328,493.
Allen budgeted higher than expected on some categories such as health insurance and dispatch because the exact amount is not known yet.
She also added 3% to the hydrant line because of a possible rate increase, she said previously.
The proposed capital improvement budget is $113,000, which is an increase of $74,040 over the 2021-22 budget. It includes $55,000 for a partial payment on a new Ford F-600 truck for the Public Works Department and $28,000 for a partial payment on a police cruiser.
