Budget Reviews Underway
by Press Release 1/24/13
Reviews for fiscal year 2014 are now underway...

As a reminder, budget planning for fiscal year 2014 (July 1, 2013-June 30, 2014) is now underway.
The process unfolds in three stages: For departments with an oversight board (such as the Selectmen, Board of Health, Board of Assessors, etc) the oversight board first meets and approves a budget request that is presented to the Finance Committee. The Finance Committee reviews all budget requests (according to the schedule below) and makes budget recommendations that are published in the Finance Committee report. The final step is for Town Meeting to vote on a budget at the May Town Meeting. Given this process, anyone with particular concerns or issues about budgets should act now by attending the appropriate oversight board meetings to express his or her concerns. Meeting schedules for town boards can be found on the town’s web site http://www.townofholliston.us/calendar.htm.
The budget review schedule for the Finance Committee and the Selectmen is provided below, but keep in mind that the schedule is subject to change—the posted Finance Committee agenda (available at http://www.townofholliston.us/agendas.htm) will always reflect the most up-to-date schedule information. All meetings listed below begin at 7:30pm and are held in Town Hall Room 105; HCAT provides live television coverage for most or all of the meetings. Please note that tonight’s Finance Committee meeting will be held in Town Hall room 014 and will not be televised due to a pipe rupture (and subsequent flood) at Town Hall.
