During a special Board of Selectmen workshop this week in Redding, officials have decided to forward a budget with a smaller increase to the Board of Finance.  The .86 percent budget increase for the coming fiscal year does not include a shortfall in operating the Georgetown wastewater treatment facility by the Water Pollution Control Commission. 

First Selectman Julia Pemberton told the Redding Pilot that since the Police Department has used a small fraction of its overtime budget, a cut would be made there. 

The budget does however include an increase in the overtime budget.
