2010-2011 Budget Information The Bradley Town Council started reviewing the municipal budget on February 2, 2010. They have reviewed each line item and will be submitting the following budget to the voters for the June 8, 2010 annual referendum. Several items affected the municipal budget this year; there was a large increase in water fees (commercial use and hydrant rental), a substantial increase in the amount of County Tax, a decrease in State Revenue Sharing and Investment Income. The net effect is that the budget as presented is $136,302.96 above the self imposed budget cap; expenditures minus revenue must not be increased above the Federal COLA which for 2010 was zero. The Town Council has voted to override the budget cap, and present this budget to the voters. To offset the net effect on the 2010 municipal tax commitment (taxes), the Town Council will also present a warrant article to ask the voters to remove $140,000 from the undesignated fund balance (current balance $1,478,509.00). The undesignated fund balance is created from past commitments non-expended amounts and over collected revenues, in essence, unused tax revenue. The Town of Bradley has never used undesignated fund balance for this purpose, it is however a way to keep the municipal tax rate the same until the economy changes, and other revenues increase. There will be a public hearing held on this on May 25, 2010, in the mean time if additional questions or comments are needed, please contact Town Manager Melissa Doane.
