Town Manager's Budget Includes $1.8 Million Increase
The increase will not allow for staffing in several departments, according to the Lowell Sun.
Tewksbury Town Manager Richard Montuori revealed his proposed budget earlier this week. But according to a report in the Lowell Sun, Montuori told town officials that the proposed $1.8 million increase won't be enough to full support the town's needs.
The Sun reported that the Town Manager's proposed Fiscal Year 2015 budget comes in at $91,295,785.
While the budget proposal will allow Tewksbury to maintain status quo, the newspaper reported that it will not include additional staffing in the library, Fire Department and Police Department.
"I think if you ask any department head here tonight, they'll tell you their operating budgets are razor-thin and tight," said Montuori, according to The Sun.
