The Bethel Boards of Selectmen and Finance are each holding special meetings tonight to consider the purchase of a new Police Vehicle from the current year Capital Non- Recurring budget.  The Selectmen will meet at 6:30pm via Zoom and in person at the Municipal Center starting at 6:30.  The Board of Finance will take up the matter at a 6:45pm meeting, also via Zoom and in person at the Municipal Center.

The Board of Finance will then receive a presentation of the Board of Selectmen's proposed budget for the coming fiscal year.  They'll then discuss the municipal and school budget proposals.  The Bethel Board of Education is proposing a $51.2 million plan, an increase over the current year due in part to increased enrollment.  But educators are also concerned about the impact of COVID and maintaining current services. 

The budget meeting will also be hybrid, held via Zoom and in Meeting Room A of the Municipal Center, at 7pm.
