FAIRFIELD, CT Job cuts planned for the coming fiscal year will remain in the 2021-22 budget after a divided Board of Selectmen voted Monday to approve the spending plan with only minor adjustments.
The $335.5 million budget left the board meeting with a slightly lower mill rate increase than was originally presented. Selectmen voted to add about $315,000 in found revenue to the document, decreasing the projected tax rate hike from 1.98 percent to 1.88 percent.
One area of the budget that remained unaltered, however, was First Selectwoman Brenda Kupchick s staffing changes to the majority of town departments.
