Financial
planning update.
The

It tells us what financial condition we are in.
In a letter received by the Town, it stated the Town has positioned
itself in a financially sound position.
They looked at the overall debt burden which includes school, County,
and Tech. We are well within the
norms. The direct debt, which is
just town, is very low and manageable. The
pace of debt pay-off is quite favorable. The undesignated fund balance is
extremely favorable. The overall
condition, according to the letter, is quite good.
