Beacon Falls budget heading to vote

Proposal increases spending, cuts tax rate BEACON FALLS The town’s 2021-22 municipal budget proposal increases spending and funds a substantial list of capital projects, but cuts the tax rate by a full mill. The spending plan will go to a public vote at a town meeting June 2 at 7 p.m. at the senior center, 57 North Main St. The $7.95 million operating budget proposal is an increase of $473,596, or about 6.3%, from this fiscal year. The proposal includes contractual increases, like 2.5% raises for town employees and a 5% jump in the cost of medical benefits. The spending plan also raises the first selectman salary from $55,000 to $62,000, and the salaries for the treasurer, selectmen and registrars of voters positions from $250 to $13,750. The proposed salaries for elected officials are prorated in the budget and won’t take effect until after the November election.

Beacon Falls, Naugatuck YMCA eye partnership

By Elio Gugliotti, Editor BEACON FALLS Even though the Naugatuck YMCA’s service area includes Beacon Falls, the nonprofit organization doesn’t have much, if any, of a presence in town. That is likely to change soon. Officials have started preliminary discussions with Naugatuck YMCA CEO Mark LaFortune about the borough-based organization running programs in town. “There’s a lot of really cool things that I think we can do and we can work together on,” LaFortune told the Board of Selectmen and Board of Finance during a joint budget workshop April 27. The town sponsors youth activities and summer programs through the Parks and Recreation Commission. Aside from some part-time staff for summer programs, volunteers mainly lead the effort to run the programs.
