FY11 Operational Expenditure Budget – Overview
The Town’s operational expenditures are divided into functional categories that become the legal budget appropriated at Town Meeting. These functional categories include General Government, Public Safety, Education, Public Works, Human Service, Culture and Recreation, Debt Service, Intergovernmental, Employee Benefits, and General Insurance. Also added to this is the sewer enterprise operating budget. The final budgeting category, though not part of the actual budget vote, is the remaining Town Meeting Warrant articles that have a financial impact.
Below, I shall detail the proposed expenditures for all line items for the Town budget. This is another difficult budget cycle in West Boylston, due in large part to the decline of the federal and state economy and three consecutive years of local aid cuts.
