The Administration and Finance Committee chaired by Councilwoman Gensemer has completely failed this town. Another emergency increase of $200,000 in the budget for 2024 for legal fees that have already exceeded the approved budget appropriation in excess of 675,000 and yet this council still strongly supports a BA with several lawsuits against him. And their answer to solve the budget deficit is shared services? Settle the lawsuits, stop overspending on unnecessary projects - your municipal engineer is making an absolute fortune on your inability to determine wants over needs.
