Voters only made minor changes to Rindge’s warrant during the town’s deliberative session on Saturday morning, including sending the budget and a proposal for a ninth police officer onto the ballot.
The majority of the 11 articles discussed during Saturday’s deliberative session were forwarded to the warrant with little discussion among the small crowd that attended in person, which consisted of less than 30 people.
Townspeople offered no amendments or objections to the $4.5 million proposed budget.
About $183,000 of the increase in this year’s budget is attributed to the addition of a bond for fiber internet approved last year. However, the bond is being paid back through a user fee for those who sign up, not taxpayer dollars. Discounting the bond, the budget is up about 3.4% compared to the previous year, or $142,000.
