Adams Town Meeting to Vote Spending Articles Monday
By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — Town meeting members will decide on 25 warrant articles on Monday, June 22, at 6 p.m. in the Memorial Building, including authorization for a number of spending articles that make up a budget approximately $21 million.
Of that amount the town is requesting, in Article 5, an operations budget of $10,650,057, of which $8,074,370 is made up of personnel and $2,642,107 for operating expenses.
This budget has previously been described as a level-funded services budget, with an increase of $513,821 for personnel and $66,420 for expenses.
However, officials have emphasized that the number of vacant positions in town has created a lot of unknowns but adjustments can be made during a special town meeting when more information is available.
The positions have been conservatively budgeted at previous rates, maintaining each staff member's prior step or grade, as if the roles were filled full time.
Health insurance for these roles have also been budgeted assuming the new personnel picks the family plan, ensuring the funds are available.
The Hoosac Valley Regional School District is requesting $6,814,145 for the town's assessment (Article 10). Cheshire has passed its portion of the budget.
