Article 12

Town Operating Budget

Click HERE for direct link to the text of Town Warrant Article (revised at Town Deliberative Session Feb. 6, 2010).

The town is proposing a $6,849,980 operating budget, which does not include appropriations for other special warrant articles voted on separately. If this budget were to fail, the default budget of $6,906,903 would be adopted which is the same as last year with certain adjustments required by previous actions of the Town of Raymond or by law. The proposed budget reflects a tax of $3.85 per thousand of tax valuation; the default budget reflects a tax of $3.90 per thousand of tax valuation. (1)

A YES VOTE raises $6,849,980 to fund the 2010 town operating budget.
A NO VOTE raises $6,906,903 (the default budget) to fund the 2010 town operating budget.

Pros

• Proposed budget is .05 cents per thousand of tax valuation less than the default budget.

Con:

• The Default Budget would give the town an additional $56,923 to maintain funds.
