The New Fairfield Board of Selectmen has adopted a nearly $13.3 million budget, more than $400,000 over the current year. First Selectman Pat Del Monaco says without $550,000 in reductions from the municipal operations and capital and non-recurring budgets, the increase would have been 7.45 percent, but it's down to a 3.15 percent increase. The biggest hike has come from are utilities and public works as the Board seeks to restore the town’s road-paving money to the budget. New Fairfield is also looking to fund an electronic ticket system for the police department and replacement of a health department vehicle. The New Fairfield Board of Selectmen is also proposing to spend $18,100 on active shooter kits and new firearms for the police department.
