It's that time of year again when Cheshire town officials begin discussing the town's operating budget for the upcoming fiscal year.

Residents are urged to attend a public hearing scheduled for Tuesday (March 19) if you have any questions or want to express any concerns regarding Town Manager Sean Kimball's recent budget proposal. A complete calendar of operating budget meetings for the Town Council, all open to the public, are listed below.

Kimball has proposed an operating budget - $115.58 million - that would result in a rise to the mill rate at 33.65 mills compared to the current 32.62 rate, meaning an increase of $185 to taxes in town.

As is always the case, the bulk of the budget is for the Board of Education and for the upcoming fiscal year the proposed education budget is at $74.3 million. Other items addressed in the budget include a contribution to teachers' retirement and the addition of four public safety dispatchers for the Cheshire Police Department.

Discussions among Town Councilors regarding Kimball's proposal began Thursday.
